Pyth Network (PYTH) is a decentralised oracle network that delivers real time market data, such as prices for crypto, stocks, currencies and commodities, to blockchain applications. What sets it apart is that the data comes directly from first party sources, including trading firms and exchanges, instead of being collected through third party node operators. Pyth started on Solana in 2021 and now serves price feeds on dozens of blockchains, updating as often as every few hundred milliseconds. The PYTH token launched in November 2023 and is used for governance through the Pyth DAO, as well as for staking to help protect data quality.
