What it returns

Every on-chain options protocol the record follows, ranked by its options volume over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days (window), largest first. measure=premium is what buyers paid for the options; measure=notional is the size of the underlying they were written on, much larger. With chain, each figure is the protocol's volume on that chain only. A protocol with no figure for the window is left out; one whose figure is 0 is kept. protocolsRanked says how many carry a figure before limit. A chain no options protocol runs on answers an empty protocols. Each slug is the one protocol-history takes for that protocol's daily options volume. For one coin's options on the major venues, centralised ones included, see options-markets.
