How it works

1
First-party publishers
138 institutional firms (including Jane Street, Jump, Wintermute and top CEXes per Pyth's published publisher list) stream their own internal prices directly to Pythnet — no third-party aggregator in between.
2
Aggregate + sign
Pythnet combines publisher prices into a single value plus a confidence interval, then signs it.
3
Pull on demand
Apps on 114 blockchains fetch the latest signed update via Wormhole only when they need it — paying gas only on use, not per block.

Why prediction markets use it

  • Lowest latency in the category: sub-second pull updates, Lazer goes sub-millisecond — built for high-frequency on-chain trading.
  • First-party data: prices come from the firms that actually trade them (not aggregator-of-aggregators), giving institutional-quality feeds.
  • Pay-per-use pull model is cheaper for apps that don't need every-block updates — important for short-duration prediction markets.

About

Pyth Network differs from third-party-aggregator oracles in one structural choice: its publishers are the financial institutions actually producing the prices. 138+ top exchanges, market makers and trading firms publish their proprietary feeds directly to Pythnet (a Solana fork), where they are aggregated into a single signed price plus confidence interval per feed. Consumer chains use a pull model — apps fetch the latest signed update on demand, paying only when needed, which makes Pyth particularly suited to high-frequency on-chain venues that want sub-second latency without paying per-block push costs. The catalogue spans 3,000+ feeds covering crypto, FX, equities, ETFs, commodities and macro indicators across 114 blockchains. In prediction markets Pyth powers Polymarket's traditional-asset markets via Pyth Pro (equities, gold, oil, equity indices — April 2026) and is the settlement data source for Kalshi's Commodities Hub (gold, silver, Brent, nat gas, copper, grains — 22 April 2026). Limitless still publishes Pyth-resolved markets but added Chainlink Data Streams alongside it in June 2026 for short-duration crypto.
