https://straits.live/api/premium/risk-premium

Shares a payout wallet with 7 other endpoints — its adoption is attributed from that shared wallet's traffic, not earned exclusively.

Strait of Hormuz war-risk transit premium nowcast: a live MODELED war-risk insurance multiple (Nx over the peace baseline, on the published 1x-80x scale) for moving a tanker through the strait, recomputed every 5 minutes from throughput deviation (IMF PortWatch), the escalation forecast (Polymarket + Kalshi + Manifold + Brent-WTI spread), crude implied volatility (OVX), and event pressure (news and maritime RSS feeds, the PGSA incident feed and GDELT). The standing straits.live insurance-estimate multiple is carried only as a static reference (it is set manually and changes infrequently); the modeled figure is the live signal, not a divergence from that anchor. Returns a band, a curated VLCC war-premium band ($/voyage, estimated separately from the modeled multiple and not derived from it), per-driver detail, and a confidence that degrades on stale feeds or thin market volume. A modeled situational-awareness indicator, not an insurance quote.

Composite reliability — the weighted average of the dimensions below, on a 0–100 scale.
Availability
95

How often it was reachable when we probed it (weight 35%).

Latency
100

How quickly it answers when it is up — fast scores high (weight 20%).

Security
100

Whether it serves over working TLS / https (weight 15%).

Transparency
61

Whether the operator disclosed what it does — description, schema, identity (weight 15%).

Activity
1

Observed on-chain payments to this endpoint's wallet — transactions, volume, and distinct paying wallets over the last month (weight 15%; not yet measured when we have not seen its wallet settle).

Confidence 100% — how much probe evidence backs this score. A thin history is flagged, not hidden.

This payout wallet is shared: figures cover all 8 endpoints paid at it, since payments cannot be attributed to one of them. Only payments settled on chains and facilitators we index.

Linked by wallet — likely same operator

On-chain agent identity and the x402 endpoint that shares its settlement wallet.
