Api Endpoint

Single IV Solver

When to use: one market premium → need σ̂ + Greeks; cheaper/faster than a full surface. Solves Black-Scholes IV then prices Greeks at the solved σ. Same engine as the surface endpoint (fastImpliedVol). Prefer surface when you have a multi-strike/maturity book. USDC exact on Solana/Base.
