The Aptos Foundation and Pyth Data Association Partnership
The Aptos Foundation and Pyth Data Association have partnered to introduce sub-second oracle updates on the Aptos blockchain. This collaboration brings an automated price scheduler that regularly updates price feeds for Aptos’s Layer 1 blockchain, providing developers with low-latency price oracle infrastructure and sub-second price updates for their DeFi applications.
Key Points:
– Developers can access Pyth’s feeds on Aptos to leverage real-time asset prices from external sources like Jane Street, CBOE, Binance, OKX, and Bybit.
– Aptos DeFi projects, such as Thala Labs, Tsunami Finance, Aries Markets, ABEL Finance, and Aptin Finance, already utilize Pyth data.
– Pyth’s pull oracle model allows applications to access price feeds once per second, paying only for the prices they request.
– The partnership aims to support fairer and more transparent markets, empowering Aptos developers and streamlining the adoption of real-time oracle data.
– Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain based on the Move programming language, offering a faster and more scalable alternative to other networks.
– Pyth is an oracle network securing over $2 billion in value.
