Battle of the Oracles: Pyth Network vs. Chainlink
The post Battle of the Oracles: Pyth Network vs. Chainlink appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The role of oracle services, which provide real-time market data to DeFi dApps and other startups – is vital to the health of the web3 world. Oracles bridge the gap between blockchain and the outside world, combining on-chain nodes and off-chain infrastructure to establish a data pipeline that, in effect, makes blockchains brainier. In this article, we consider the merits of two major players in this space, namely Chainlink and Pyth Network, which are currently jostling for dominance. To be clear, both oracle networks offer a raft of unique features and capabilities, supplying feeds to many happy clients. But while each has its merits, a closer examination suggests that Pyth Network may have an edge in certain key areas. Let’s dive in. The Governance Debate One of the most significant advantages held by Pyth Network relates to its governance model. Governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Pyth allows community members to actively participate in decision-making processes. From altering oracle fees to introducing new features like reward mechanisms, the community’s voice is critical. The recent election and approval of the inaugural Price Feed Council by the Pyth DAO on March 28 is a testament to this participatory governance model. Chainlink, while also involving community participation and a network of node operators, has faced criticism from some quarters due to its perceived centralization. The concerns raised by crypto influencer Chris Blec last year about the 4-of-9 multisig contract that controls Chainlink highlight potential vulnerabilities in its governance structure. “The entire DeFi industry – VCs, DAOs, devs, everyone – is colluding to hide the fact that if 5 people, chosen by @chainlink, ever decide (or are forced) to go rogue, the entire DeFi ecosystem can be intentionally destroyed in the blink of an eye,” Blec tweeted last February. The entire DeFi industry…
