In Web3, we often talk about data availability in terms of rollups or scaling solutions. But there’s another critical layer: real-world data that powers dApps.
Traditional oracles work like a request–response system: smart contracts ask for data, nodes fetch it, and results are posted on-chain. This is slow, costly, and fragmented — especially for DeFi, where price feeds must update continuously across many protocols.
🔑 Pyth flips the model.
Instead of waiting for queries, first-party publishers (exchanges, trading firms, market makers) stream live data directly into the network. These updates are aggregated, filtered, and broadcast across chains via Wormhole.
💡 Why this matters:
Always-live feeds → no delays, no missed updates.
Scalable → one update can reach Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Cosmos simultaneously.
Transparent → every update & publisher input is recorded on-chain for full auditability.
Flexible → instant updates on Solana, TWAPs on Ethereum to save gas.
🔥 Impact on dApps:
Lending protocols get real-time price feeds.
Derivatives platforms can calculate funding rates with accuracy.
Cross-chain aggregators sync seamlessly across ecosystems.
By shifting from reactive → proactive, fragmented → unified, opaque → transparent, Pyth isn’t just an oracle — it’s a data availability layer for Web3 itself.
📌 This makes real-world data as reliable and future-proof as transaction data.
