Overview

Pyth Network logo

Pyth Network

Pyth Network is a high-fidelity, low-latency oracle that delivers real-world market data to smart contracts on over 50 blockchains including Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid integrates Pyth's price feeds to power its perpetual and spot markets, ensuring reliable mark prices and funding rates. Pyth uses a pull-model where publishers—including major trading firms like Jump Trading and Jane Street—push prices on-chain only when consumed, dramatically reducing costs. With sub-second update frequencies and over 500 price feeds covering crypto, equities, FX, and commodities, Pyth is one of the most widely used oracles across the HyperEVM ecosystem. Its decentralized network of first-party data sources ensures data accuracy and tamper-resistance, making it a critical infrastructure layer for DeFi protocols building on Hyperliquid that require accurate, real-time pricing for collateral valuation, liquidation triggers, and perpetual mark prices.

Chainlink

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle network powering decentralized applications across 900+ blockchain integrations. As the HyperEVM ecosystem expands, Chainlink's Data Feeds, Automation, and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) are increasingly leveraged by protocols building on Hyperliquid. Chainlink aggregates data from hundreds of independent node operators and data providers, ensuring tamper-proof price feeds with high availability. Its Proof of Reserve service helps verify RWA-backed assets on-chain, while VRF delivers verifiable randomness for gaming and NFT applications. Chainlink's battle-tested security model and deep integration with EVM tooling make it a natural fit for HyperEVM dApp developers seeking reliable oracle infrastructure. With over 5 trillion in transaction value secured across its lifetime and integrations with BlackRock, Swift, and major DeFi protocols, Chainlink brings institutional-grade data infrastructure to the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
