Stork Network
Stork is a low-latency, first-party oracle network purpose-built for high-performance DeFi applications like Hyperliquid. Unlike traditional oracle solutions, Stork delivers signed price updates directly to end-users, enabling on-demand data consumption without sacrificing freshness. Designed for derivatives and perpetuals markets where sub-millisecond price accuracy is critical, Stork has become a key infrastructure layer for HyperEVM protocols. Its publisher-agnostic design allows projects to integrate multiple data sources under a unified interface, and its architecture supports hundreds of asset feeds with cryptographic attestation. Stork's emphasis on ultra-low latency makes it ideal for Hyperliquid's high-throughput matching engine, where stale oracle prices can create exploitable arbitrage or unfair liquidations. Projects building options, structured products, or complex derivatives on HyperEVM rely on Stork for the price freshness that underpins safe, capital-efficient protocols.
