# 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.
