Ecosystem
Pyth now secures 48%*+ of all DEX trading by operating cross-chain with Wormhole
*DEX trading which requires an oracle, such as perpetual futures trading.
Note - DEX’s such as AMM’s typically do not fall into this category. Metric as of 7/31/23.
Challenge
Pyth started on Solana and captured more than 90% of the TVL, but wanted to provide the best in class pricing feed data for all assets across all chains. Doing this on a chain by chain basis would require lots of time, money, and effort to build, manage, and maintain.
Solution
Use Wormhole Messaging to write a single smart contract, and deploy it across every Wormhole-connected chain to share price feed data across networks using cross-chain messages.
Results
Going cross-chain with Wormhole has enabled Pyth to:
• Expand to new networks and chains faster than other oracles
• Publish 1.9M aggregated price updates per day across 32 chains and 6 runtimes
• Capture key customers like Synthetix (on Optimism) and Ribbon Finance (on Ethereum)
• Secure 48% of all DEX trading within the first 8 months
