“Public oracle price feeds are a critical component for growth as lending is often seen as the crux of economic behavior. This infrastructure is a huge milestone to spur development of innovative financial instruments on Hedera and we are ecstatic to partner with Pyth not only for the incredible tech, but our alignment of a long-term strategic vision.” — Grace Pfluger, HBAR Foundation Director of Business Development

“A sustainable and enterprise-grade network designed to support a decentralized economy will require continuous access to low-latency and highly reliable price data.

Pyth Price Feeds on Hedera

The launch of Price Feeds and Pyth Benchmarks is a major strategic development for Hedera DeFi ecosystem. Pyth Network offers an expansive suite of over 400 ultra low-latency price feeds across cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, commodities, equities, and ETFs. Developers on Hedera can tap into these price feeds to power their smart contract protocols and decentralized finance applications.

Pyth Price Feeds offers an innovative Pull Oracle design which enables Hedera users and developers to benefit from continual access to the latest price updates. Low-latency prices are paramount for accurate on-chain transactions and settlement. Pyth Price Feeds also provide a confidence interval feature to inform downstream protocols about ongoing volatility and market dislocations. This supplementary data can keep lending protocols and trading platforms safe and informed about extraordinary market conditions.

HLiquity is the first application on Hedera to integrate with Pyth Data. HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows users to draw interest-free loans against HBAR. Loans are designed to be paid out in HCHF (a CHF-pegged stable on-chain currency) and must maintain a minimum collateral ratio of 110%. Thanks to Pyth Price Feeds, HLiquity can actively track the current price of HBAR and CHF to ensure that user vaults and the overall protocol remain over-collateralized

“This partnership with Pyth Network enhances HLiquity on Hedera, offering real-time, reliable data for secure and efficient decentralized borrowing. This collaboration is a leap forward in our mission to deliver transparent and accessible financial services.” — Reto Habegger, COO at Swisscoast
