How Pyth Powers the Ecosystem
- Jupiter Perps — Pyth is the price oracle for Jupiter’s perpetual trading. Every long/short position, liquidation, and funding rate calculation uses Pyth’s 400ms price feeds.
- Solana DeFi — MarginFi, Drift, Mango, and other Solana lending/perp protocols use Pyth for collateral pricing and liquidation triggers.
- Cross-chain expansion — Originally Solana-native, Pyth now serves 70+ chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Sui, and Aptos via Pyth Crosschain.
- First-party data — Unlike aggregated oracles, Pyth sources prices directly from Jump Trading, Jane Street, Wintermute, Binance, OKX, and other major firms. This means faster, more accurate data.
Key Features
- 400ms update frequency — Price updates multiple times per second, essential for latency-sensitive DeFi (perps, liquidations, MEV protection).
- First-party data sources — Prices come directly from major exchanges and trading firms, not aggregated from other feeds. 95+ institutional data publishers.
- 70+ blockchain support — Available on Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Sui, Aptos, Sei, Injective, and dozens more.
- Pull-based oracle — Users bring the latest price on-chain when needed, ensuring freshness while reducing costs vs. push-based oracles.
- Confidence intervals — Every price feed includes a confidence band, letting protocols make smarter risk decisions (wider spread = more uncertainty).
- 500+ price feeds — Covers crypto tokens, US equities, forex pairs, commodities (gold, oil, etc.), and other traditional financial assets.
- Pyth Benchmarks — Historical price data API for backtesting strategies, settlement, and analytics.
