This major development opens the door for DeFi applications tied to energy markets.

A Step Toward Decentralized Energy Markets

Pyth’s new service will aggregate live data from trusted financial sources. This includes exchanges, market makers, and index providers. This data will be available on more than 80 blockchain ecosystems. This will give developers the tools to create DeFi applications that link directly to the oil market. With real-time price feeds for WTI and Brent Crude Oil.

As well as front-month, second-month, and third-month futures contracts. This service sets the stage for oil-based derivatives and perpetual futures. Also, other financial instruments are to be offered on-chain.

The addition of non-expiring contracts for difference (CFD) prices enhances the platform’s flexibility. This makes it an attractive option for both retail and institutional investors looking to access energy markets. By aggregating multiple data sources, Pyth reduces reliance on single-source feeds. This ensures more reliable and diverse oil market data. This is like having more than one line of defense. It will offer greater security and accuracy for DeFi protocols .
