Pyth Monthly Update | August 2022
“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time”
What is odd about this uneven time is Pyth’s ever-increasing output. This month, Pyth introduced a new environment: Pythnet. This new network will allow Pyth to scale its important offerings by 20x! That means more price feeds (DOW 30 incoming), and especially more chains supported, courtesy of Wormhole.
As always, you could find the Pyth team worldwide across all the Solana Hacker Houses, from Seoul to Stockholm. The next convergence point? xHack by Wormhole in Chicago. In the meanwhile, the Pythian community has been on a roll: celebrating Pyth’s 1 year anniversary on Solana mainnet, new art galore, and a full-colored comic strip featuring Pythia herself!
