Smarter data, smarter contracts. Secure your smart contracts with reliable, low-latency market data from institutional sources. Build applications using high-fidelity oracle sources designed for mission-critical systems.

Financial market data is often only accessible to a limited number of institutions and users. Traditional markets typically maintain tight controls on both real-time and historical price offerings. The cryptocurrency market currently has fewer barriers, although this is no guarantee that this arrangement will continue. Therefore, only selected user groups have access to the most timely, accurate and valuable information. The Pyth network aims to bring this valuable financial market data to DeFi applications and the general public. The network does this by incentivizing market participants – trading firms, market makers and exchanges – to share price data collected as part of their existing operations. The network aggregates these first-party price data and publishes it on-chain for use by applications on or off-chain. The original white paper proposed an initial protocol design primarily for the Solana blockchain.
