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.
