In its three years in the market, Pyth Network has rapidly ascended to become one of the leading oracle networks, sourcing data from over 90 primary providers, including prominent trading firms, market makers, crypto exchanges, and traditional exchanges.

The inclusion of Laser Digital in Pyth’s ecosystem infuses valuable knowledge and experience from the traditional banking sector into the dynamic decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.

Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs, a contributor to the Pyth ecosystem, expressed enthusiasm about Laser Digital’s integration into the Pyth Network, stating:
