Pyth Network (PYTH) is a decentralized first-party oracle network that streams real-time price data for crypto, equities, FX, and commodities to onchain applications. It is built around a pull-based design, with major trading firms and exchanges publishing prices directly rather than going through third-party reporters.
Why it's tracked here
Pyth's social signal tracks sentiment around onchain market infrastructure and the broader "oracle competition" narrative. Mood shifts here often reflect how traders feel about derivatives, perps, and cross-chain DeFi build-out.
