Where the volume sits
Two different questions. Flow is what changed hands; stock is what is still open. They disagree, and the gap is the point.
Open stock · lifetime volume of markets still live

All active markets, 25 per page (larger page sizes are rejected). Markets carry several categories; each is attributed to its first, otherwise per-category sums exceed the venue total. Because this figure is cash and Kalshi's and Polymarket's are $1-face notional, it is the one venue whose volume is not on the same scale as the other two · it is ~0.03% of the combined total, so the mixing is disclosed rather than corrected.
How the unit was established
The API returns volume as a raw integer alongside collateralToken {symbol: USDC, decimals: 6}, and volumeFormatted is that integer scaled by 1e6 · it is denominated in collateral, not shares. DefiLlama's open-source Base adapter reads the same venue from the OrdersMatched event and takes the collateral leg, with no /2, because OrdersMatched fires once per matchOrders call rather than once per order leg.
