Mike Cahill is the Founder and CEO of Douro Labs, building oracle tooling, products, and Web3 infra for Pyth Network’s suite of decentralized data services.
In this episode, we discuss the vision for Pyth Network to make the price of everything, available everywhere onchain. Pyth is a household name among DeFi oracle providers for a reason, with 600 data feeds, 470 apps, and over 90 blockchains supported. But it didn't happen overnight! As a former high frequency trader at Jump, Mike shares the origin story for recognizing where DeFi would evolve and why he leaped at the chance to build Pyth. We also dive in their latest release of Pyth Lazer 1 ms price feeds, their partnership with Revolut, and where they are focused building next in 2025 to support a world rapidly migrating onchain.
