This major development opens the door for DeFi applications tied to energy markets.

By launching real-time oil price feeds, Pyth is bridging the gap between traditional financial markets and decentralized solutions. This move creates exciting new possibilities for DeFi energy markets.

A Step Toward Decentralized Energy Markets

Pyth’s new service will aggregate live data from trusted financial sources. This includes exchanges, market makers, and index providers. This data will be available on more than 80 blockchain ecosystems. This will give developers the tools to create DeFi applications that link directly to the oil market. With real-time price feeds for WTI and Brent Crude Oil.

As well as front-month, second-month, and third-month futures contracts. This service sets the stage for oil-based derivatives and perpetual futures. Also, other financial instruments are to be offered on-chain.

The addition of non-expiring contracts for difference (CFD) prices enhances the platform’s flexibility. This makes it an attractive option for both retail and institutional investors looking to access energy markets. By aggregating multiple data sources, Pyth reduces reliance on single-source feeds. This ensures more reliable and diverse oil market data. This is like having more than one line of defense. It will offer greater security and accuracy for DeFi protocols.

More About Pyth Network

Pyth Network has launched Oracle Integrity Staking (OIS), an upgrade designed to enhance data source accountability and improve the security of the DeFi ecosystem. OIS introduces on-chain staking rewards and slashing mechanisms, allowing anyone to participate in securing Pyth’s data feeds.

The program incentivizes both publishers and PYTH token holders to stake their tokens, ensuring high-quality data while holding publishers accountable. Publishers who contribute reliable data will earn rewards, but those who provide faulty data will face penalties by slashing a portion of their stake.
