How this differs from index Max Pain

Deribit max pain here sums OI across all listed expiries in one flat chain — not a single weekly expiry like NIFTY. Daily, weekly and monthly contracts all contribute. Settlement is at 08:00 UTC on each expiry date; weekly Fridays are the main event for positioning.
