Pyth Network vs Valantis

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.

Valantis

Valantis is a modular decentralized exchange protocol deployed on HyperEVM, designed to give liquidity providers and protocol developers unprecedented flexibility in how AMMs are constructed and customized. At its core is STEX — a next-generation AMM architecture purpose-built for liquid staking token pools, solving the persistent problem of capital inefficiency and high slippage that plagues standard AMMs when handling correlated or yield-bearing assets. Valantis separates exchange logic into composable modules: sovereign pools, HOT (Hybrid Order Type) AMMs, and pluggable liquidity management strategies — allowing developers to integrate custom pricing curves, fee tiers, and rebalancing logic without forking the entire protocol stack. For liquidity providers, this means substantially better capital efficiency and reduced impermanent loss on correlated pairs. For protocols building on HyperEVM, it means a flexible DEX infrastructure layer that can be tailored to specific tokenomics and use cases. Valantis fits naturally into the Hyperliquid ecosystem by providing foundational trading infrastructure that DeFi primitives — lending markets, derivatives vaults, and yield protocols — depend on for deep, efficient, and programmable liquidity.
