TON and Pyth Network Partner to Enhance DApp Development with High-Fidelity Data Feeds

The Open Network (TON), the decentralised blockchain platform built by Telegram’s founder, has announced a strategic partnership with the DePIN-centric protocol Pyth Network. This collaboration aims to enhance developers’ capabilities working on the TON platform by providing them access to Pyth’s high-fidelity, real-time data feeds.

According to the announcement, the partnership centres around integrating Pyth’s Pull Oracle data feeds, which are crucial for developing decentralised applications (dApps) on TON. This will provide TON developers with better equipment and allow them to create innovative and competitive applications and in-game economies within the blockchain ecosystem.

It’s much more than gaming, though. Real-time data feeds are also expected to play a crucial role in expanding the reach of TON’s DeFi projects. That’s because accurate and fast transaction processing is vital for DeFi services. By that logic, Pyth’s Oracle can help TON projects scale their audience on a global level.

Michael Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs and a core contributor to Pyth, told Cointelegraph that these feeds are secured with multiple layers of protection that further enhance TON’s development capabilities.

These measures are in place to give TON developers and all other supported ecosystems the confidence to build cutting-edge DeFi that will serve potentially millions of users.

Enter DePIN

Pyth Network is highly centred around DePIN. 

DePIN, or Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks, is an emerging sector in the DeFi space. It’s complex to explain to a certain level because it is a broad field with many moving parts and integrations with other DeFi components, such as real-world assets (RWAs) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

But in a nutshell, DePIN refers to the application of blockchain tech to a global network of physical infrastructure powered by a global network of participants who provide the computing resources to keep those systems running.

That said, Pyth Network has become a crucial player in the DePIN sector, providing real-time data for those networks to function correctly. In energy distribution networks, for example, accurate pricing data can help with the optimisation of resource allocation and pricing strategies.
