Unmatched Access to Real-Time Data
Developers within the Starknet community now have access to over 500 real-time price feeds, covering a broad spectrum of assets including cryptocurrencies, commodities, foreign exchange pairs, equities, and exchange-traded funds. This integration allows applications to harness reliable, low-latency data directly from top financial institutions.
Starknet, renowned for its secure scaling technology, enhances Ethereum’s capabilities by validating off-chain transactions through advanced mathematical and cryptographic methods. This approach addresses Ethereum’s scalability challenges, fostering an environment conducive to developing complex decentralized applications (dApps).
“The Pyth Network integration offers developers within the Starknet ecosystem access to real-time price feed data for over 500 assets, all of which are available today and sourced directly from the world’s largest financial institutions. Additionally, through their innovative pull oracle model, applications are able to reduce costs and improve accuracy by requesting data exactly where and when they need it.”
Diego Oliva, Starknet Foundation CEO
To support Starknet’s scaling capabilities, the deployment of Pyth Network’s pull oracle is crucial. This technology enables DeFi protocols on Starknet to request price updates on-chain and on-demand, operating in a permissionless environment. The pull oracle’s gas efficiency ensures continuous access to high-frequency market data and the most up-to-date prices for downstream users.
Empowering Applications with Accurate and Cost-Effective Data
Pyth empowers applications on Starknet by providing cost-effective, precise data that updates exactly where and when it is needed. This capability is essential for developers looking to build innovative solutions within the Starknet ecosystem.
