Pyth Network Integration

What is the Pyth Network?

The Pyth Network is a specialized oracle solution for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on blockchains. It provides high-fidelity financial data, such as asset prices, broadcasted in real-time and sourced from a decentralized network of contributors. Parifi integrates Pyth Network's data feeds to enhance its trading algorithms and offer accurate, up-to-the-second pricing for its perpetual contracts.

Responsibilities of the Pyth Oracle within Parifi

• Real-time Price Feeds: The Pyth Network delivers rapid price updates that Parifi utilizes to adjust its liquidity curves and pricing algorithms dynamically.

• Market Data Verification: Pyth’s data assists in the real-time verification process during trade execution to prevent slippage and protect against front-running.

• Enhanced Risk Management: The integration with Pyth Network allows Parifi to implement an additional layer of security for price referencing, which is vital for the platform's adaptive risk management strategies.

How does Parifi utilize the Pyth Network's oracles?

Parifi leverages the Pyth Network's oracle data in several ways:

• Adaptive Pricing: By using Pyth's real-time data, Parifi’s liquidity curves offer accurate and fair prices, adjusted according to market liquidity and volatility.

• Order Execution: Each trade is confirmed against the latest market data, ensuring that traders get the most current prices at execution time.

• EMA Integration: Parifi uses Pyth’s exponentially weighted moving average (EMA) as a secondary check for price verification, ensuring trades are executed within predefined price deviation limits.
