Pyth Network Oracle

Pyth Network is a high-performance, decentralized oracle that provides real-time market data for crypto, equities, FX, and commodities. Built to address the fundamental limitations of traditional oracles—opacity in data sources and slow update speeds—Pyth delivers first-party data directly from major exchanges and trading firms.

First-Party Data from Premium Publishers

Pyth aggregates price feeds from over 100 data publishers including leading exchanges, market makers, and financial institutions. This first-party approach ensures data quality and transparency that traditional third-party oracles cannot match. The protocol publishes both price and confidence intervals, giving consumers transparency into data quality.

High-Performance Updates

Pyth delivers 280 million+ price updates per day with sub-second latency, making it suitable for high-frequency DeFi applications, perpetuals, options, and other derivatives that require fast, accurate pricing. The on-chain programs are optimized for minimal gas costs and maximum update frequency.

Supporting 100+ blockchains through Wormhole integration, Pyth makes the same high-quality price data available across the entire multi-chain ecosystem—from Ethereum and Solana to newer L1s and L2s.
