We’re excited to announce that Pyth’s low-latency pull oracles are now available on ShimmerEVM mainnet. The ShimmerEVM chain is the first fully EVM-compatible smart contract chain on the Shimmer network that enables scalable, fast and secure processing of smart contracts.
Developers on ShimmerEVM can now access Pyth’s 350+ price feeds for equities, commodities, foreign exchange pairs, and cryptocurrency. The Pyth Network has also launched its SMR/USD price feed, which is available on ShimmerEVM and more than 35 other blockchains.
Pyth on ShimmerEVM
The Pyth Network introduced an innovative low-latency pull oracle design, where users are empowered to “pull” price updates on-chain when needed, enabling everyone in that blockchain environment to access that data point. Developers on ShimmerEVM have permissionless access to any of Pyth’s 350+ price feeds for equities, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange pairs, and cryptocurrencies.
Deepr Finance is a protocol that enables users to lend and borrow digital assets without the need for intermediaries. Deepr Finance has integrated Pyth’s low-latency pull oracles to value assets and ensures that user positions and the overall protocol remain healthy.
Virtue Money is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows you to draw vUSD interest-free loans against SMR. Thanks to Pyth Price Feeds and the Pyth SMR/USD Price Feed, Virtue can continuously value user positions and health and trigger liquidations on loans when necessary.
LendeXe is a decentralized liquidity market protocol that provides two types of loans and a native stablecoin. #PoweredByPyth, LendeXe will be able to ensure that all users’ positions remain healthy.
IOTA
The IOTA Foundation is a global non-profit foundation that develops next-generation decentralized technologies for a new digital economy in a connected world. It redesigns the way people and devices connect to share information and value, removing middlemen. The Foundation collaborates with a global ecosystem and partners to research and develop technologies that deliver sustainable, real-world impact. Together, they are shaping a new digital economy, removing unnecessary friction and unlocking human potential.
At the heart of the Foundation's mission is the Tangle, its open, feeless, and highly scalable distributed ledger. Designed to support frictionless value and data transfer, the Tangle is a DLT infrastructure for Web3 applications and digital economies. Unlike blockchain alternatives, the Tangle allows transactions to be added in parallel; it also boasts low resource requirements, as well as zero-fee and fast transactions with finality within seconds. The IOTA token is the native currency on the IOTA network. It is used to transfer value and data and enable feeless micro-payments.
Shimmer
Shimmer is the official L1 staging and validation network of the IOTA distributed ledger technology (DLT). It is a rapid innovation playground with short development cycles, allowing developers to build applications and use features that are not yet available on the IOTA mainnet.
Similar to the IOTA network, Shimmer is built on a UTXO-based parallelized, directed acyclic graph (DAG), guaranteeing higher scalability than conventional Blockchains, and it provides the core building blocks for a scalable, modular multi-chain architecture.
Shimmer ensures interoperability and composability of L2 smart contract chains and is capable of connecting any type or flavor of L2 smart contract chain anchored to it. With its unique tokenization framework, Shimmer will become a multi-asset ledger for minting and transfer of native assets without middlemen or crippling gas fees.
$SMR is the native token of the Shimmer network and serves as the network’s economic backbone, facilitating value transactions and interactions within the Shimmer ecosystem. Users of Shimmer use the $SMR token to launch new DeFi applications, DEXs, NFTs, DAOs, and other dApps.
