Pyth Network is a blockchain oracle, that supplies financial market data. It is intended to provide low-latency, high-frequency data updates, focusing on financial applications. More than 90 first-party data providers, including significant exchanges and market makers, provide data to Pyth. By concentrating on first-party data providers, the accuracy and directness of the data are guaranteed, improving the information’s transparency and dependability.
Data users on the Pyth Network request price updates on a need basis, utilizing a ‘Pull Oracle’ model. Because it doesn’t require pointless updates and can be tailored to the requirements of decentralized applications (dApps), this method uses less gas. Pyth provides real-time price feeds for a variety of assets and supports over 40 blockchains.
Pyth makes sure that the data closely follows the external markets by providing over 350 price feeds with an update frequency of every 400 ms. This frequent update is essential for applications that require quick responses.
