The $PYTH is an advanced Oracle network that provides real-time price data on-chain for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications across multiple blockchain networks.
The network supports over 380 price data sources covering cryptocurrencies, financial assets, commodities, and foreign exchange markets.
There is an increasing need for a reliable Oracle in the DeFi sector to ensure accurate and up-to-date data, giving Pyth a competitive advantage if effectively leveraged.
On the supply side, a large portion of the tokens is still not traded, with plans to distribute them gradually, which may negatively impact the token's value.
The risks include competition with other Oracles like Chainlink, along with regulatory challenges and technical risks such as potential hacks.
