Pyth Network price feeds go dark after Pythnet validators stop producing blocks

One of DeFi’s most widely used oracle networks went dark Friday after a validator-level failure knocked out Pyth Network’s core price feeds, according to an update.

Pythnet, the chain the Pyth validators run to publish real-time prices, stopped creating blocks, cutting off data to downstream lending protocols, derivatives platforms, and trading apps.

Pyth said it had identified the root cause and expected feeds to resume by 12:30 PM UTC following a coordinated validator restart. The firm noted that its new Pyth Pro infrastructure was operating normally throughout.
