How Pyth Works
Pythnet is shutting down; Pyth Pro documents the current architecture
Pyth Core's original architecture was built on Pythnet, an application-specific blockchain that aggregated publisher prices and relayed them cross-chain. Pythnet is being shut down as part of the Pyth Core sunset, and the pages describing it — the oracle program, price aggregation, cross-chain relaying, and the Pythnet account reference — have been retired along with it.
Pyth Pro is where the current architecture is documented:
- How Pyth Pro Works covers how prices are published, aggregated, and delivered today.
- Understanding Price Data explains the aggregate price, the confidence interval, and the EMA.
