What’s happening in the Pyth ecosystem? Catch the latest developments here on all things Pyth, including new chains, new publishers, and new #PoweredByPyth apps!
Pyth network unlocks valuable financial market data for DeFi and the world. The network incentivizes market participants—exchanges, market makers, and trading firms—to share their pricing data directly to multiple blockchains. Pyth aggregates this data on-chain and makes it available for decentralized and off-chain apps.

A 2022 Pythian Recap
2022 will definitely be a year to remember: the highs were high, and the lows were low.
Even in the face of extraordinary adversity, never once has the Pythian community wavered from its core mission. Furthermore, the case for transparent, trustless, and decentralized financial systems is stronger than ever. This year, as blockchain technology continues to mature and develop, we expect Pyth to become a major player throughout the broader Web3 ecosystem.
From our whitepaper release almost a year ago to Pyth data now being officially available on 6 different blockchains powered, the Pythians have been heads down and building.
