Imagine if financial data on blockchains came directly from the source instead of through layers of middlemen. That’s exactly what Pyth Network does.
Pyth is a first-party oracle — its prices come straight from the firms that create them: major exchanges, market-makers and trading desks. These participants sign and publish their own data, so decentralized apps can use prices that are fresh, verifiable and transparent.
Here’s why it matters:
Speed: Prices update sub-second, helping DeFi apps manage liquidations and trades more safely.
Provenance: Every price shows who supplied it.
Cross-chain: Through a bridge, the same price feeds reach dozens of blockchains, so apps on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and more can all see one truth.
Breadth: Feeds cover crypto, stocks, FX and commodities — not just tokens.
Developers like lending platforms, perpetual swap protocols and tokenized-asset projects already use Pyth to keep their smart contracts accurate and in sync. By cutting out intermediaries, Pyth helps decentralized finance run more like traditional finance — but with blockchain transparency.
In short, Pyth Network is building the price layer for Web3, giving builders and users a clearer, faster window onto real-world markets.
