FAQPage Schema

How do I fetch real-time Pyth price feeds for a Solana program?▼

To fetch real-time Pyth price feeds for a Solana program, install the Hermes client and Pyth Solana receiver, retrieve latest updates, and pass them into your program via on-chain CPI. This enforces feed verification and freshness checks for production DeFi.

What are confidence intervals in Pyth oracle price feeds used for?▼

Confidence intervals in Pyth oracle price feeds represent uncertainty bounds around the reported price. They are used for risk management and liquidation decisions, ensuring Solana DeFi applications handle volatile assets safely by avoiding acting on unreliable prices.

Can I access Pyth price data off-chain for Solana development?▼

Yes, you can access Pyth price data off-chain for Solana development by using the Hermes client. Hermes enables comprehensive off-chain data access alongside on-chain CPI integration, allowing you to validate real-time price updates before submitting transactions.

When should I use EMA prices from a Pyth oracle instead of spot prices?▼

You should use EMA prices from a Pyth oracle for sensitive Solana DeFi operations requiring smoothed price signals. Exponential moving averages filter short-term volatility, making them ideal for collateral valuation and lending protocols where stable pricing is critical.

Does the Pyth Solana receiver enforce freshness checks for production DeFi applications?▼

Yes, the Pyth Solana receiver enforces freshness checks and feed verification suitable for production-grade DeFi applications. It validates that real-time price data is current and reliable before integration, preventing stale price execution in Solana programs.
