Pyth
Pyth Network
A pull-based oracle network sourced from first-party publishers (exchanges, market makers) — the dominant oracle on Solana.
Pyth contrasts with Chainlink in being pull-based (consumer requests latest update at use time) and first-party (publishers run the price source themselves). Used heavily on Solana, growing across EVM L2s.
