Practical overview
When it fits
Use Rainbow when researching crypto options across its supported venues and you want a consolidated view of available options data before considering a strategy.
Who it is for
- Crypto options traders comparing data across centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols.
- Developers who want to use or run the screener through its CLI or web interface.
Documented uses
- Retrieve available options data from supported markets.
- Compare options markets across centralized and decentralized venues.
- Review potential market opportunities to inform strategy research.
- Run a terminal-based screener or the web dashboard from source.
Requirements & limits
- The CLI requires Go v1.22; running the web frontend locally requires Node v18 and npm v9.
- Docker v20 and Podman v3 are listed as optional container tools.
- The README lists Deribit and Delta Exchange, plus Lyra, Thales and Zeta, as supported venues.
- PsyOptions and Opyn are specifically listed as deprecated integrations, so they should not be treated as current coverage.
- The CLI and web dashboard are distinct use paths; the web frontend requires the server API.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
