Pyth’s architecture aggregates data from market makers, financial institutions, and high-frequency traders, providing low-latency feeds that closely track live market conditions. This setup is crucial for accurate price discovery, reducing slippage, and maintaining reliable price inputs during high volatility. By utilizing Pyth, we ensure that liquidation processes and margin requirements are consistently based on low latency, accurate and current market data and not by sudden market movements on our order book. In subsequent updates, we will introduce new price oracles to support pre-launch tokens, ratios, RWAs, and other interesting and differentiated pairs. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
