NEW YORK, February 28, 2023 – Digital Asset Research (DAR), a leading provider of ‘clean’ crypto data, insights, and research, announced today that it joined the Pyth network, an oracle solution designed to deliver real-time, high fidelity, market data on the blockchain on a sub-second timescale.
Pyth network has established itself as the leading oracle solution for financial data, with more than 75 data providers contributing real time prices across asset classes including FX, Equities and Commodities apart from Crypto. Pyth data oracles are available to consume off-chain and on-chain across blockchains via the Wormhole network. Initially, DAR will publish real-time prices for 125+ crypto assets to the Pyth oracle, with plans to expand its data contribution as the network grows in scope.
