Data oracles like the Pyth Network serve as the connection between blockchains and the off-chain data sources necessary for decentralized financial (DeFi) applications. Further improvements in DeFi require high-fidelity, time-sensitive, real-world data, which has historically been inaccessible on-chain. The Pyth Network solves that problem by bringing real-world data to the Solana blockchain in a tamper-resistant environment. Announced in August 2021, the Pyth Network has seen impressive growth – over 40 data providers are now beginning to contribute real-time pricing across crypto, equities and FX – and many decentralized applications are starting to use the oracle on Solana with future cross chain capabilities via Wormhole.
