“And then there was light”. Today, we are excited to unveil the mainnet deployment of Pyth Price Feeds on LightLink, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain that lets dApps and enterprises offer users instant, gasless transactions.
Starting today, smart contract developers in the LightLink ecosystem can permissionlessly access over 400 real-time price feeds across major asset classes to power their DeFi applications.
Additionally, builders have already started integrating with Pyth Entropy on testnet during the LightLink APAC Hackathon hosted by Encode. The grand winner of the hackathon was LightLink Roulette, a community-driven app enabling users to win prizes for picking the correct number—all powered by Pyth Entropy.
"Our mission is to seamlessly integrate millions into the digital economy through user-focused dApps and enterprise partnerships, making blockchain as intuitive and accessible as Web2, without the complexity of gas fees and protocols. We are honored to partner with Pyth Network to unlock gasless use cases for enterprises and builders across the globe.” — Roy Hui, Co-Founder and CEO of LightLink.
Random Numbers—Soon #PoweredByPyth
On-chain random number generation is critical for a variety of decentralized use cases which rely on random outcomes. Random number solutions help determine unpredictable outcomes for artistic or game-like initiatives such as NFTs, betting markets, and gaming. On-chain RNG even has practical uses in cryptography and decentralized governance.
The future deployment of Pyth Entropy in the LightLink ecosystem will enhance its capabilities across many Web3 verticals, including prediction markets, NFTs, SocialFi, and GameFi. A secure source of randomness, for example, can ensure a fair and truly randomized NFT drop with randomized attributes across all mints. Unpredictable outcomes are also key to supporting on-chain parimutuel markets and Web3 game mechanics like lotteries and mystery boxes.
Pyth Price Feeds on LightLink
The launch of Pyth Price Feeds and Benchmarks paves the way for high throughput DeFi capabilities for the LightLink ecosystem. Pyth Network offers a comprehensive catalog of over 400 real-time price feeds across cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange rates, commodities, ETFs, and equities. LightLink developers can freely integrate with any of these data feeds to secure their smart contract operations.
Pyth Price Feeds are built on an innovative pull oracle design which will empower LightLink users to request on-chain price updates from the Pythnet appchain only when needed. In addition, Pyth Price Feeds support a unique feature, confidence intervals, which indicate volatility and market dislocations in the form of a visual price band around the reported aggregate. This additional data point helps downstream protocols better protect their users and funds.
