Case Study18 February 2026

AVAX Caught in the Cascade: −11.3% in 4 Hours. ORIA Had 110 Minutes.

Smaller cap assets amplify broader cascade events. ORIA detected independent AVAX options hedging: not just a BTC derivative signal.

This case study describes a past event reconstructed from historical production data. It is for information only.

Past signals do not predict future results.

Options data pipeline3–6 months
Deribit WebSocket + normalization
37 Greeks engine2–3 months
Full surface, per-strike, real-time
ORIA cohort system6–12 months
Activity fingerprinting + scoring
Signal validation layer3–6 months
Backtesting + outcome tracking

Estimated in-house build cost

14–25 months of engineering time
