What Is Pyth Network?
An oracle network that publishes prices on Solana fast enough to trade against.
Definition
Pyth is an oracle built for speed. Exchanges and market makers publish their prices to it directly rather than through an intermediary, which shortens the path data travels and the list of parties who could tamper with it.
How it works
Publishers submit prices, Pyth aggregates them with confidence weighting, and the result lands on Solana roughly every 400 milliseconds.
In Continuum
Every mint and redeem on Continuum prices off Pyth. Update frequency matters here: the faster the feed moves, the smaller the window in which a stale quote can be picked off.
