@Pyth Network Story 4: The 'Shortest Path' of Multi-Chain Liquidators
The aggregator liquidator 'Fenglan' is simultaneously monitoring two L2 chains and one L1 chain, and they used to suffer losses on 'which price comes first'. After connecting to Pyth’s cross-chain prices and proofs, the process was rewritten to——whichever chain first receives the 'valid signed price message' executes first; the remaining chains reuse the same proof within the validity period to avoid waiting redundantly.
On a night of severe tremors, the delay distribution converged for the first time at 210–430ms, with mismatched events reduced to single digits; the task queue shrank from over 800 to under 300. The team directly attached the 'liquidation playback link' to the work order, customer service changed it to verification numbers, no longer playing the role of a judge. The two most striking indicators in the weekly report are 'effective price readiness time' and 'margin adjustment amplitude driven by confidence bands', the former determines whether it can seize the opportunity before congestion, and the latter determines whether healthy positions will be mistakenly killed.
