Solana Changelog - September 19 - Real world assets (RWA), OPOS hackathon winners, on-chain privacy

Oracles are an essential part of how real-world data gets integrated into DeFi smart contracts, but historically, that process has been fraught with challenges. In this episode, Jayant Krishnamurthy (Duoro Labs) explains how Pyth is addressing these challenges and redefining how a blockchain oracle can work. Originally built on Solana’s L1, Pyth is a low-latency, high-frequency oracle that has expanded beyond the Solana ecosystem and now provides data feeds for over 30 blockchains. The way it does this is through Pythnet – the first network to deploy the Solana codebase for an application specific blockchain. 

0:00 - Intro
0:55 - What are oracles, and why is Pyth different?
1:33 - Pyth's data acquisition model
3:44 - Why are institutions interested in working with Pyth?
8:02 - How blended sources of data get represented by a single number 
10:49 - How different data contributors to Pyth are weighted
13:36 - Confidence intervals 
16:39 - Defining high frequency and low latency in the context of oracles 
19:17 - How Pyth's architecture achieves speed
21:42 - The move from the Solana L1 to Pythnet
24:19 - Modifying validators to run Pythnet
25:55 - Pyth's off-chain activity 
27:35 - The off-chain components of DeFi 2.0 more broadly 
31:55 - Initiating calls for price updates
33:45 - How Pyth interacts with the L2 ecosystem
36:10 - How the pull oracle model is key to Pyth's sustainability 
38:30 - How will oracles maintain their place in the market over the next few years? 
45:40 - Learnings from developing Pyth during the bear market
