Rainbow is inspired by the following trends:

• Crypto-assets and DeFi becoming mainstream,
• Advent of the Internet of Blockchains’ world with more cross-chain applications and communications,
• Crypto options trading growing bigger than the spot market, like in traditional Finance.

The crypto derivatives markets are expected to grow a lot more in the upcoming years. Specifically, the options markets will see the biggest growth, because in Finance, Option market is much bigger than the underlying spot market. This is lagging in Crypto, when we look at Deribit's volume (the main centralized venue for Crypto Options), compared to Perpetuals future.

We participated to hackathons and have won super prices: Ethereum's EthGlobal Hackathon, Solana's Ignition Hackathon and Encode Club's Hack DeFi.

More info on our motivations: cryptonuage.com/posts/internet-of-decentralized-options

• Deribit: Centralized exchange. Main venue for crypto Options trading.

• Delta Exchange: Centralized exchange for futures, options and interest rate swaps on 50 underlying cryptocurrencies.

• Lyra (Ethereum): DeFi protocol for trading options based on Layer 2, Optimism, using a custom AMM.

• Thales Optimism and Polygon, DeFi protocol for binary options (exotic options).

• Zeta (Solana): DeFi options protocol built using Serum order books.

• PsyOptions (Solana): DeFi options protocol build on Serum order books. But PsyOptions pivoted to DeFi Options Vaults (DOV).

• Opyn (Ethereum): DeFi options protocol using TheGraph & 0x. But Opyn also pivoted to more vaults like products Squeeth, Crab...

Rainbow can be used as a CLI or with a frontend as our official instance: https://teal.finance/rainbow.

• Go v1.22 (single requirement for the CLI)
• Node v18
• Npm v9
• Docker v20 (optional)
• Podman v3 (optional)

Rainbow can be used in the CLI, without requiring Node, Npm, Docker…

Snap provides a simple way to install these requirements on many Linux distributions:

snap install go   --classic
snap install node --classic
go     version
node --version

On Debian/Ubuntu, the command sudo apt install golang may install an older version. List all available versions with:

apt list --all-versions golang golang-1.*

To install a more recent Go version, you may try:

sudo apt purge   golang*
sudo apt install golang-1.22

However, you may not need to install Go and Node if you build/run Rainbow using the Dockerfile.

git clone https://github.com/teal-finance/rainbow
cd rainbow

The Rainbow project provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) to let users play from their terminal. The command ./cli retrieves (few minutes) and prints a pretty nice table of all options.

go run ./cmd/cli

See the make help output.

make all     # Build both backend and frontend
make server  # Build the backend only
make front   # Build the frontend only
make clean   # Clean all

The run targets do not depend on the above build targets. You do not need to make build before make run.

make run        # Run the backend in dev mode
make run-ui     # Run the frontend in dev mode

To serve the static website using the Rainbow backend only, as in production:

make clean -j && make all -j && make run

make container-run  # Build and run backend + frontend
make container-rm   # Stop and remove all

The container targets try to use docker, then podman.

The container-run also opens a browser window on http://localhost:1111/ and prints the container logs indefinitely.

Use CTRL+C to stop the log printing. This does not stop, the container. To stop the container simply use make container-rm.

The two other containers targets are not needed to be invoked manually:

make container-build  # Build the container image
make container-stop   # Stop/remove the container

The container parameters can be customized: 🙂

make container-run expose=80 port=80 base=/rainbow/

The frontend requires the server API.

go build ./cmd/server && ./server

# or

go run ./cmd/server     # same as "make run"

To run the Vue3 frontend in dev mode. Similar to make run-ui:

cd frontend
npm i
npm run dev

In prod mode, the backend serves the web static files from frontend/dist. Same as make frontend/dist:

cd frontend
npm i
npm run build

Finally open http://localhost:8090

This Git repo provides a Dockerfile for a secured and light all-in-one container image: 30 MB.

The image contains the hardened sever executable and the frontend static files.

The container enables by default the CORS, the export ports and a rate limiter. Some of these features can be customized using environments variables.

The following commands configures the server listening on port 2222 (published to port 1111) and frontend using CORS with http://localhost:1111. See also the comments within the Dockerfile for the details.

podman build --build-arg addr=http://localhost:1111 --build-arg port=2222 -t rainbow .
podman stop rainbow # if already running in background
podman run --rm -p 0.0.0.0:1111:2222 -d --name rainbow rainbow
podman logs --follow rainbow

Open http://localhost:1111.

The above manual commands can be obtained using the Makefile:

make container-run addr=http://localhost:1111 expose=1111 port=2222

Rainbow embeds a complete HTTP server, including a rate limiter, an export port (Prometheus monitoring), and more. For more details see the underlying project Teal.Finance/Garcon.

$ go build ./cmd/server
$ ./server -h
Usage of ./server:
  -addr string
      Schema and DNS used for doc URL and CORS, has precedence over MAIN_ADDR (default "http://localhost")
  -aes string
      128-bit AES key (32 hex digits) for the session cookies, has precedence over AES128
  -alert string
      Webhook endpoint to notify anomalies, has precedence over ALERT_URL
  -burst int
      Max requests during a burst, has precedence over REQ_BURST (default 22)
  -cex
      Enable the centralized exchanges: Deribit and Delta Exchange
  -dev
      Enable the developer mode (enabled by default if -addr and -port are not used)
  -dex
      Enable the decentralized exchanges: Lyra, Synquote and Zeta
  -exotic
      Enable the decentralized exchanges with binary options: Thales
  -exp int
      Export port for Prometheus, has precedence over EXP_PORT
  -form string
      Webhook endpoint to notify filled contact form, has precedence over WEBFORM_URL
  -hmac string
      HMAC-SHA256 key (64 hex digits) for the JWT tokens, has precedence over HMAC_SHA256
  -period duration
      Period to fetch market data from providers (default 10m0s)
  -port int
      API port, has precedence over MAIN_PORT (default 8090)
  -providers string
      Coma-separated list of providers, has precedence over PROVIDERS (default "ALL")
  -rate int
      Max requests per minute, has precedence over REQ_PER_MINUTE (default 88)
  -version
      Print version and exit
  -www string
      Folder of the web static files, has precedence over WWW_DIR (default "frontend/dist")

The API is protected by a JWT. You can reuse the anonymous JWT provided by the frontend. To get the JWT, first visit the webpage https://teal.finance/rainbow then replace this former URL by https://teal.finance/rainbow/v0/options

Moreover, you can also use the API by running the Rainbow backend in your machine:

Using the Dockerfile:

make container-run expose=8090

Using the Go compiler installed on your local machine:

make run

The /v0/options endpoint accepts optional parameters.

Progressive filtering:

• /v0/options/BTC (only the BTC-based options)
• /v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29 (only the BTC-based options expiring on 2022-04-29)
• /v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29/Deribit (only the BTC-based options expiring on 2022-04-29 from Deribit)
• /v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29/Deribit/csv (the same but in a CSV file, see the supported formats)

The general URL pattern:

/v0/options/{asset}/{expiry}/{provider}/{format}

The API may be tested with cURL:

curl localhost:8090/v0/options

curl localhost:8090/v0/options/BTC

curl localhost:8090/v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29

curl localhost:8090/v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29/Deribit

curl localhost:8090/v0/options/BTC/2022-04-29/Deribit/csv

Moreover, the parameters can also be passed using the query string:

• /v0/options?asset=BTC&asset=ETH (multiple underlying assets)
• /v0/options?asset=BTC&expiry=2022&provider=Deribit&format=csv

The API also supports the POST form:

curl localhost:8090/v0/options -d asset=BTC -d asset=ETH

curl localhost:8090/v0/options -d asset=BTC -d expiry=2022 -d provider=Deribit -d format=csv

The POST form is recommended for privacy reasons since it hides your query within the encrypted request body when using HTTPS.

The expiry filtering matches for the beginning of the dates:

• /v0/options/ALL for ALL options and any expiry date
• /v0/options/ALL/2022 for expiry dates in 2022
• /v0/options/ALL/2022-04 for expiry dates in April 2022
• /v0/options/ALL/2022-04-01 for April 1st 2022

The {format} parameter is the last one at any position.

• /v0/options (default is JSON in the browser)
• /v0/options/json (download a file in JSON format)
• /v0/options/csv (CSV file)
• /v0/options/tsv (TSV = Tab-Separated Values)
• /v0/options/BTC/csv (only the BTC-based options in CSV)
• /v0/options/ALL/2022-06/csv (all options expiring in June 2022 in CSV)

The current supported formats are JSON, CSV and TSV. Depending on user requests, more formats may be supported such as JSON-LD, JSON Lines (or NDJSON, see JSON streaming), Avro, Parquet, DataFrame, Excel, Google Sheets Docs.

The "Accept" HTTP header is also supported:

curl localhost:8090/v0/options -H "Accept: application/json"

curl localhost:8090/v0/options -H "Accept: text/csv"

curl localhost:8090/v0/options -H "Accept: text/tsv"

This endpoint is currently designed to meet the requirements of the frontend. This endpoint should not yet used by API users because we may drop it in a further release.

However, other websites can display the Rainbow screener using this GraphQL API. Please contact us. 😉

This interactive GraphQL endpoint is used in developer mode to tune the frontend GraphQL queries.
