Pyth Network Unveils Express Relay Tool to Combat Electric Vehicles
Pyth Network, a leading Solana-based provider of real-time market data for blockchain applications, officially launched its latest product, Express Relay, on mainnet at the inaugural Pyth Agora 2024 Summit held today in Brussels.
This tool provides a decentralized approach to solving the recurring problem of miner extractable value (MEV) during the liquidation process. It also facilitates other transactions, which improves market efficiency within decentralized finance (Challenge) platforms.
Express Relay: Pyth Network’s response to MEV
MEV traditionally refers how miners or validators capture a significant portion of the value of research DeFi Protocol Transactions through block space tips. This competitive environment encourages researchers to bid more aggressively on transaction value. Thus allowing DeFi protocols to increase their liquidation reward incentives.
Express Relay transforms this dynamic. It allows the researcher with the most competitive bid to execute the transaction, effectively bypassing miners.
Additionally, it aggregates liquidation opportunities and other valuable DeFi transactions across multiple protocols and blockchains. This makes it easy to access these opportunities without individual negotiations or integrations.

Additionally, it can mitigate the extractive role of miners and allow protocols to save resources. These savings can be used for more productive activities or redistributed to users.
Pyth Network’s new Express Relay tool connects DeFi protocols directly to a network of experienced researchers via protocol-controlled auctions for crucial transactions like liquidations. In line with the principles of decentralization, DeFi protocols and researchers can integrate with Express Relay in a permissionless manner by simply adding a few lines of code. This collaboration includes notable researchers such as Flow Traders, Wintermute, Auros, Flowdesk, Caladan, Tokka Labs, and Swaap Finance.
Michael Lie, Global Head of Digital Assets at Flow Traders, expressed his excitement about the new tool. He highlighted Express Relay’s ability to enable Market makers must provide significant liquidity during critical periods.
“When looking for partners in our ecosystem to collaborate with, we want to play an active role in furthering our mission to create more efficient markets. That’s why we’re excited to be part of this new initiative and deepen our engagement with Pyth,” he said.
Additionally, protocols like Synthetix, Zerolend, Ionic, Synonym, Keom, Jax Finance, Vela Exchange, and Fulcrom Finance have already begun integrating with Express Relay to combat the impacts of MEV. Collectively, these applications represent approximately $1 billion in total value locked across 11 blockchains.
The launch of this tool has had a positive impact on the price of platform’s native token, PYTHPYTH price rose from an intraday low of $0.297077 to $0.306840, an increase of nearly 3.3%. However, at the time of writing, PYTH is trading at $0.303718.
