# 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.
