Pyth Infrastructure Providers
We are delighted to announce that Syndica has joined P2P, Everstake, Figment, Triton, Coinbase Cloud, and Blockdaemon to offer infrastructure support to the Pyth network. As a result, the Pyth network will be able to leverage the largest and most trusted infrastructure platforms to support publisher activities and other participants’ actions in the network.
Why does infrastructure matter so much?
Publishers in the Pyth network need dedicated infrastructure to maintain a high-frequency update (on par with Solana speed). To generate ~10 million price updates daily (200k per asset), the Pyth network publishers initiate about 100 million Solana transactions every day. These updates are published by first-party data providers such as Alameda Research, Chicago Trading Company, CMS, CoinShares, Cumberland DRW, FTX, Galaxy Digital, Genesis Global Trading, Jane Street, IEX Cloud, Jump Trading, Wintermute, and many more.
In addition to aiming for peak performance, leveraging a multitude of highly-skilled infrastructure providers enables bolstering of the reliability of the Pyth network in all circumstances. If Pyth publishers were to all rely on a single node provider, any defect originating from it would negatively impact the whole network and the applications that depend on it. In today’s environment, a single defective infrastructure provider would affect the publishers relying on its services. However, all the others would still be able to operate and continue offering HiFi data to anyone. As of today, there are 55 publishers spread around seven infrastructure providers.
“As more publishers and developers are entering the Pyth network ecosystem, ensuring that there is a simple and secure way for them to participate is mission-critical. Infrastructure partners fluent across different protocols will also be key to Pyth’s expansion strategy,” said Mike Cahill, Director of Pyth Data Association.
