name: Dopex / Stryke API FinOps
description: >-
  Dopex (now Stryke) operates a permissionless public REST API with no monetary
  subscription costs. The primary costs for integrators and users are on-chain
  gas fees for smart contract interactions on Arbitrum One and other supported
  EVM networks. Protocol fees are charged as a percentage of option premiums
  and are collected by the smart contracts.

costs:
  - name: REST API Access
    description: >-
      The api.stryke.xyz REST API is free to use for all read and
      transaction-preparation endpoints. No API key purchase, subscription
      fee, or credit card is required.
    cost: 0.00
    currency: USD
    unit: month

  - name: Arbitrum Gas Fees (Option Purchase)
    description: >-
      Purchasing an option on Dopex/Stryke requires an on-chain transaction
      on Arbitrum One. Gas fees are denominated in ETH and reflect Arbitrum's
      L2 fee model (L2 execution fee + L1 data fee). Arbitrum gas fees are
      significantly cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, typically ranging from
      $0.01 to $0.50 per transaction depending on network congestion.
    cost: variable
    currency: ETH
    unit: transaction
    estimate: $0.01 – $0.50 USD per transaction
    network: Arbitrum One (chain ID 42161)

  - name: Arbitrum Gas Fees (LP Deposit / Withdrawal)
    description: >-
      Depositing or withdrawing liquidity in CLAMM vaults requires on-chain
      transactions. Costs are similar to option purchase transactions, subject
      to Arbitrum's current gas pricing.
    cost: variable
    currency: ETH
    unit: transaction
    estimate: $0.01 – $0.50 USD per transaction
    network: Arbitrum One (chain ID 42161)

  - name: Protocol Option Premium Fee
    description: >-
      Dopex/Stryke charges a protocol fee on option premiums. The exact fee
      percentage is not publicly disclosed in documentation and may vary by
      market and epoch. Fees are deducted from option premium payments and
      distributed to DPX/SYK stakers and the protocol treasury.
    cost: variable
    currency: USD
    unit: per option premium
    note: >-

      at docs.stryke.xyz/developers/deployed-addresses for current rates.

  - name: Third-Party RPC Provider
    description: >-
      High-frequency integrations should use a paid Arbitrum RPC provider
      rather than public endpoints. Example pricing from major providers.
    cost: variable
    currency: USD
    unit: month
    examples:
      - provider: Alchemy
        free_tier: 300 million compute units/month
        paid_plans_from: $49/month
        url: https://www.alchemy.com/pricing
      - provider: Infura
        free_tier: 100,000 requests/day
        paid_plans_from: $50/month
        url: https://infura.io/pricing
      - provider: QuickNode
        free_tier: 10 million API credits/month
        paid_plans_from: $49/month

savingsTips:
  - Cache option market data and strikes chain responses for 30–60 seconds
    to reduce API call volume.
  - Use Arbitrum Goerli or Arbitrum Sepolia testnets during development;
    testnet ETH is free via faucets.
  - Batch multiple contract reads using multicall (stryke-xyz/web3-multicall
    or equivalent) to reduce the number of RPC calls and associated costs.
  - Monitor gas prices using Arbitrum's gas tracker before submitting
    transactions to avoid peak-congestion surcharges.
