Dive deeper into Pyth Network
Pyth Network is a decentralized oracle solution that provides real-time, high-fidelity financial market data to multiple blockchains. Launched in 2021, Pyth Network was created to address the need for accurate, low-latency market data in the rapidly growing decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. The network sources its data from over 90 first-party publishers, including some of the world's largest exchanges and market makers. Pyth Network's mission is to democratize access to financial market data, making it readily available to DeFi applications and the general public. By doing so, it aims to empower individuals to take control of their financial lives and foster the growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
How does Pyth Network work
Pyth Network operates by incentivizing market participants to share the price data they collect as part of their existing operations. This data is then aggregated and published on-chain for use by on- or off-chain applications. The network uses an appchain called Pythnet to store and update the state of each price feed. Pythnet is a proof-of-authority blockchain where each publisher runs a validator. PYTH prices are broadcast from this appchain to other target chains by way of a cross-chain architecture that uses decentralized cross-chain messaging protocols, such as the Wormhole network.
Pyth Network price and tokenomics
The Pyth Network's native token is PYTH. The maximum supply of PYTH is 10,000,000,000, with an initial circulating supply of 1,500,000,000 (15%). The token distribution is as follows: Publisher Rewards (22%), Ecosystem Growth (52%), Protocol Development (10%), Community and Launch (6%), and Private Sales (10%). The PYTH tokens are initially locked and will unlock 6, 18, 30, and 42 months after the initial token launch. The PYTH token plays a crucial role in the network's governance, allowing token holders to guide protocol development and shape the network.
About the Founder
Douro Labs, under the leadership of CEO Mike Cahill, established Pyth Network with a focus on blockchain technology. Their aim was to facilitate the integration of off-chain and on-chain data, particularly in Ethereum (EVM) and Solana ecosystems, to enable real-time data feeds for blockchain applications.
