Onboarding new publishers is one of the most critical processes for $PYTH Network, because the integrity of its data depends on the quality of its sources. Publishers in Pyth aren’t anonymous middlemen — they’re established exchanges, trading firms, and financial institutions that generate the data firsthand. This direct connection ensures accuracy and builds trust in every price feed.
The onboarding process typically involves rigorous vetting to confirm the reliability, credibility, and technical capability of the publisher. Once approved, publishers integrate with the network by securely streaming their market data on-chain. Governance can also play a role, with the Pyth DAO evaluating proposals to expand the range of data feeds or add new contributors.
This careful selection process ensures that every publisher strengthens the network rather than dilutes it. As more top-tier institutions join, the ecosystem gains both depth and resilience — reinforcing Pyth’s vision of becoming the gold standard for decentralized market data.
