## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability stratalize-crypto-options-iv-benchmark-3b6df44f
```

Example prompt: Pull me the current implied volatility benchmarks for both BTC and ETH — I want the 7D and 30D IV, the put/call ratio, fear/greed signal, and how the term structure compares to VIX, with the cryptographic verification receipt.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a crypto options trader or macro agent needs authoritative, cryptographically signed implied volatility benchmarks for BTC and/or ETH with fear/greed context and VIX comparison in a single call. Prefer this over raw exchange feeds when verifiability and benchmarking against traditional volatility indices matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid asset parameter (not BTC, ETH, or all) — returns 400 validation error
- Deribit or FRED data source temporarily unavailable — returns 503 with upstream error detail
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 payment required
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 too many requests

## How this service works

Stratalize — attested finance, legal, healthcare, and compliance intelligence. Signed, independently verifiable receipt on every call (trust.stratalize.com/verify). Use when a crypto options trader needs implied volatility benchmarks. Returns BTC and ETH 7D/30D IV, put/call ratio, fear/greed signal, term structure shape, and VIX comparison. Example: BTC 30D IV at 62%, fear signal. Source: Deribit + FRED

## Output

Returns BTC and/or ETH 7-day and 30-day implied volatility percentages, put/call ratio, fear/greed sentiment signal, term structure shape classification, VIX comparison figure, and a cryptographic ML-DSA-65 signature receipt verifiable at trust.stratalize.com/verify.
