Pyth Network rewards oracle data providers (publishers) through Oracle Integrity Staking: Publishers stake PYTH tokens to earn programmatic rewards for high-quality, timely price data. Delegators stake to support publishers and share rewards.
A separate retrospective airdrop (2023) rewarded DeFi users and dApps, not providers directly—22% of PYTH supply is allocated for publisher incentives.
Accuracy risks: Aggregation from 90+ first-party sources (exchanges, market makers) reduces manipulation, with confidence intervals and anti-copying mechanisms. However, risks remain if multiple providers submit erroneous data (e.g., coordinated errors or outages), potentially leading to inaccurate aggregates despite slashing penalties.
