Market intelligence

Build a full picture of an asset: spot, liquidity, derivatives, and where it trades.

A price on its own is thin. What you usually want is whether that price is real: how deep the book is, where it trades, and what the derivatives market thinks.

Ask

Give me a full market picture for SOL: spot price, where it trades, order book depth, and current funding rates across venues. Cite each source.

What to pull

Question	Where it comes from
What is it worth?	Spot price across aggregated sources
Is that price trustworthy?	Cross-venue comparison, is_price_suspect
Can I trade size?	Order book depth and pool liquidity
What do derivatives say?	Funding rates, open interest, basis
Where does volume actually sit?	Exchange-level volume breakdown

Funding rates across venues

Hive aggregates funding across 33 CEX and DEX venues, with history back to November 2023. That matters because a single venue’s funding rate tells you about that venue, not the market.

Venues also calculate funding differently. Hive surfaces funding_mechanism on the response so a comparison is honest rather than averaging incompatible numbers.

Watch for

Stale prices on thin assets. A token that has not traded in hours still returns its last price. fetched_at tells you how old that is.

Delisted assets. is_delisted marks assets no longer actively traded. Without checking it, an agent reports a price for something you cannot buy.

Suspect prices. When sources disagree beyond a threshold, is_price_suspect flags it rather than silently picking one. Ask your agent to surface the disagreement instead of resolving it for you.
