Why this is usually paid for

Options analytics are among the most expensive data in crypto. The raw quotes are public, but turning them into open interest by strike, a volatility surface or a gamma profile means normalising four venues that disagree on nearly every unit, and that work is usually sold as a professional subscription.

The disagreement is real and easy to get wrong. Deribit quotes Bitcoin premiums in Bitcoin and volatility in percent; Bybit quotes dollars and fractions; OKX splits its book into coin-margined and dollar-margined families; Binance quotes some contracts per hundred or per thousand coins while publishing open interest in coins. Basis converts each one at the edge and checked the result against the venues’ own published greeks.

Because the normalisation runs once on a cached server read that every visitor shares, there is no per-user cost to meter, and therefore nothing for a subscription to cover.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Open the options workspace on All venues

    The button below opens the terminal directly on Options. All venues is the default: open interest, volume and gamma add up across the four exchanges, while every volatility figure is read from the venue with the most open interest, which the page names.

  2. 2

    Start with volatility and skew

    Thirty-day at-the-money implied volatility says how much movement the market is paying for. The 25-delta risk reversal says which direction is paid for more: negative means puts are bid over calls, which is the usual state of crypto options and changes meaningfully when it flips.

  3. 3

    Find where positioning is concentrated

    Open interest by strike shows the levels with the most contracts open, and the expiry chips show which dates carry the size. Large expiries close to spot are where hedging flows and pinning pressure concentrate as settlement approaches.

  4. 4

    Drop into the chain when a level matters

    Choose an expiry and switch to Chain and strategy lab to read the contracts themselves, inspect one in detail, export the chain, or build the trade you are considering and see its payoff at expiry and under price, volatility and time scenarios.

Questions

Is the options data really free?+

Yes. The quotes, open interest and trades come from the public market-data endpoints of Deribit, OKX, Bybit and Binance, which need no account or API key, and Basis adds no subscription on top. Every panel in the options workspace is available to everyone, including the chain export and the strategy lab.

Which coins and venues are covered?+

Bitcoin and Ethereum on all four venues, and the altcoins each venue lists — Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, BNB, Avalanche, Tron and Hyperliquid, depending on the exchange. The underlying list is read from the venues themselves, so a coin that gains options on one of them appears without anyone editing the page.

How are four venues combined without distorting the numbers?+

Positioning adds up and volatility does not. Open interest, volume and modelled gamma are summed across venues in coins after each venue’s units are converted. Implied volatility is never averaged: two venues marking the same strike are two opinions, so smiles, skew and the surface come from one reference venue that the page names.

How fresh is the data?+

Snapshots refresh every thirty seconds while the page is visible, and each carries the time it was read, so a stale reading is labelled rather than presented as current. If a venue fails to answer, the page says which one and the totals exclude it until it recovers, instead of silently counting it as zero.

Can I trade options from Basis?+

No. Basis is an analysis terminal with no connection to exchange accounts. It cannot see positions, move funds or place orders, and the strategy lab places nothing: it prices a hypothetical position so you can study the risk before trading it wherever you hold an account.

The terminal opens on the options workspace. Nothing to configure, nothing to sign up for.
