Developers will have access to any of these channels and will be able to connect them for their own smart contracts or decentralized applications (dApps). According to them, real-time price feed will ensure that all user stores and the overall protocol are redundantly provisioned.
In addition, the first dApp running on Pyth will appear in the Hedera ecosystem – the HLiquity lending protocol. It will allow you to take out interest-free loans secured by HBAR.
