KuCoin Exchange & Pyth Network Collaboration Details
The worldwide crypto exchange known as KuCoin made the announcement that it will be forming a strategic partnership with the Pyth network. Pyth network is a next-gen Oracle solution that was built on the Solana blockchain. Its primary goal is to supply decentralized applications with reliable and verifiable market data. As a result of the collaboration, KuCoin will be able to bring all cryptocurrency market prices entirely on-chain through the provision of real-time pricing of trading pairs that are listed on KuCoin.
Pyth network is a prominent actor in the DeFi ecosystem, having established one of the largest and most dependable oracle networks. This network is derived from pricing data that is being given by currently over 60 top institutions in both traditional and cryptographic forms of finance. This is accomplished by the network offering financial incentives to market players, such as trading companies, market makers, and exchanges, for the purpose of encouraging them to directly communicate on-chain the pricing data that is gathered as part of their ongoing business activities. The network will then aggregate this first-party pricing data while it is still on the chain and make it accessible for usage by apps that are either on the chain or off the chain.
