The Pyth Network has introduced Oracle Integrity Staking (OIS), a feature designed to enhance accountability among data sources by implementing staking rewards and penalties.
The goal is to ensure high-quality real-time price feeds across the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
OIS brings decentralized staking to the Pyth network, allowing PYTH token holders and data providers to stake tokens and earn rewards linked to the quality of the data they supply. To ensure data reliability, the system incorporates a slashing mechanism, penalizing contributors who provide inaccurate data. This structure holds both stakers and publishers accountable, promoting a trustworthy network.
Governance over the OIS program is managed by the Pyth DAO, which oversees critical updates and votes on key parameters, such as staking rewards and slashing criteria. The DAO also decides how slashed funds are allocated and can introduce new reward mechanisms, including on-chain revenue generated by the oracle.
In this system, participants can delegate their PYTH tokens to data providers, increasing their reward potential. However, if a provider fails to meet the network’s standards, stakers supporting them could face penalties, encouraging a more selective and responsible approach to staking. The staking process is straightforward, involving a four-step method where participants stake tokens, select publishers, and earn rewards based on publisher performance after a short warm-up period.
Solana developers have introduced a new proposal aimed at pushing the network’s performance even further.
