Pyth Pull Oracle Goes Live on Solana

@PythNetwork has officially deployed its pull oracle on Solana, bringing developers a faster and more reliable way to access real-time price data. Instead of relying on updates being constantly “pushed” on-chain, Solana protocols can now request (pull) price updates directly from Pythnet, ensuring they get the freshest data exactly when needed.

This marks a major upgrade from the older push oracle, which will be supported until June 30, 2024. Push oracles dominated Solana DeFi but struggled under congestion, where price updates sometimes failed to land. With the pull design, those updates are bundled directly into valuable transactions—meaning fewer delays and missed feeds, even during network stress.

Why It Matters

More Reliable: Price updates land when requested, not lost during congestion.

Higher Frequency: Developers can pull from Pythnet’s high-frequency updates instead of waiting on slower mainnet pushes.

Expanded Feeds: Over 500 price feeds are now available to Solana dApps.

Historical Data: $PYTH Benchmarks provide backfilled prices for accurate settlement and risk checks.

More Secure: Each feed now aggregates data from 64 providers (double the old system).

Adoption Already Underway

Leading Solana projects—including Kamino, Jupiter, Zeta Markets, Drift, Solend, GooseFX, RainFi, Mango, Lifinity, Bonfida, and Clone Protocol—have begun integrating the pull oracle. Many highlight improved reliability, real-time accuracy, and better user experience, especially during volatile market conditions.

As Austin Federa of the Solana Foundation put it:

“The launch of Pyth’s pull oracle on Solana gives developers greater control and optionality over how they consume oracle data, and paves the way for expansion into the growing world of new SVM networks.”

Looking Ahead With more than 200,000 daily pull updates already happening, the transition is well underway. By combining high-frequency data, scalability, and better efficiency, Pyth’s pull oracle sets a new standard for DeFi infrastructure on Solana and positions the network to support future SVM-based ecosystems. #PythRoadmap
