# Pyth Network > The Price of Everything. Everywhere. Pyth Network delivers real-time financial market data from institutional publishers to blockchain applications through decentralized oracle infrastructure. Pyth Network aggregates price data from institutional market participants and makes it available to blockchain applications across multiple chains. Developers can integrate price feeds for lending protocols, derivatives platforms, and other financial applications that require real-time market data. The network's multi-source approach reduces reliance on single data providers. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Data & Analytics - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-03-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network ## Products - [Pyth Price Feeds](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Pyth Price Feeds are a core oracle infrastructure providing real-time price data feeds across multiple blockchain networks. Implements a pull-based oracle model with verifiable price attestations and Oracle Integrity Staking for data quality assurance. Publishers stake tokens to back their price feeds, while token holders can delegate stakes to reliable publishers. Delivers sub-second updates for cryptocurrency, equities, forex, and commodities markets through a decentralized publisher network with cryptographic verification. (Oracle, Live, Main Product) - [Pyth Benchmarks](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Historical price data infrastructure providing cryptographically verifiable price records across multiple asset classes. Implements both on-chain and off-chain verification mechanisms for historical price attestations, enabling accurate market analysis and reference data verification. Features comprehensive API access and standardized data formats for institutional usage. (OnChain Data API, Discontinued) - [Pyth Entropy](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Decentralized random number generation protocol providing verifiable entropy for blockchain applications. Implements multiple sources of randomness with cryptographic verification and tamper-proof delivery. Features customizable request parameters, variable output formats, and cross-chain compatibility for gaming, NFT, and randomized application requirements. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Pyth Lazer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Specialized high-performance oracle implementation offering microsecond-level latency for price updates on Solana and EVM chains. Features customizable update frequency, adjustable confidence intervals, and direct publisher connections. Optimized for high-frequency trading applications with custom subscription models and dedicated data streams for minimal latency overhead. (Oracle, Live) - [Pyth Express Relay](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Anti-MEV infrastructure solution that protects transaction execution while maintaining market efficiency. Implements a specialized mempool design with direct searcher integration, allowing protocols to eliminate harmful MEV while preserving beneficial arbitrage activities. Features customizable execution parameters and built-in transaction optimization. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Pythnet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): Pythnet is an application-specific blockchain built on Solana codebase that aggregates first-party price data at sub-second speeds for the Pyth oracle network. The blockchain processes price updates from data publishers and delivers aggregated pricing to other blockchains via Wormhole cross-chain messaging protocol. Pythnet enables price feed scaling to tens of thousands of updates per second with 400ms slot times. (L1, Live) ## Assets - [Pyth Network (PYTH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Pyth_Network): PYTH is the governance token of Pyth Network. It is used to vote on protocol proposals and to participate in Oracle Integrity Staking, where token holders delegate stakes to data publishers they trust. This staking mechanism aligns incentives by allowing the community to back reliable price feed providers, directly influencing the quality and accuracy of oracle data across the network.
