# Strikes chain

The `/strikes-chain` endpoint retrieves the options chain, also known as the strikes chain, providing information about each strike price, along with additional details regarding handlers and hooks. This endpoint offers a comprehensive view of available options for a given market, including where the liquidity for each strike comes from and the specific conditions under which it can be used.

### How Handlers and Hooks Work

* **Handlers** specify the DEX and the specific liquidity pool from which the liquidity for the options is sourced. This information is useful for understanding the underlying structure supporting the options market.
* **Hooks** outline constraints such as the maximum allowable duration for which the liquidity can be utilized (Time-To-Live or TTL) and the expiration conditions for the options.

Together, handlers and hooks provide a deeper understanding of the liquidity and constraints governing the options chain.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stryke.xyz/developers/apis/clamm-deprecated/strikes-chain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
