Pyth Monthly Update I August 2023

"August creates as she slumbers, replete and satisfied." — Joseph Wood Krutch

August '23 Momentum

This August was the culmination of a Pythian Summer. The Pyth Network took no rest in delivering data and expanding its reach.

It’s time to update our public stats. August returned a bountiful harvest, with six new blockchain integrations. Two of the most anticipated chains include Base and Scroll. Leading dApps such as CAP Finance, Perennial, DePerp, Buffer Finance, and Pike Finance have already integrated with Pyth Price Feeds on Base.

Pyth Network is expanding throughout the cosmos. After Injective, Osmosis, and Neutron, Pyth Price Feeds next launched on Sei on their mainnet launch day. Sei dApps such as Aether Protocol, Fuzio, Kawa Finance, Kryptonite Finance, Levana Protocol, and SeaSwap are setting sail with Pyth data.

We’ve also taken the time to pay homage to the Bitcoin community. Pyth Price Feeds are now available on the Bitcoin L2 network, Stacks. You will soon find Pyth data powering ALEX, Arkadiko Finance, Hermetica Finance, and Zest.

Let’s look at the numbers. Daily average price updates have gone parabolic. We started from 200K in June, 1.4M in July, to 1.9M in August. Every price update is a Pyth Price Feed delivering a price point to a blockchain. Every price delivery is paid for by a user or ecosystem participant downstream—a testament to the true demand for Pyth data. (Note: these stats exclude Solana).

Close readers will know that the Pyth Network protocol is designed to accept data fees to update on-chain prices. Governance will determine important parameters of these fees. Stay tuned.
