 1 | # Pythnet
 2 | 
 3 | Pythnet is an application-specific blockchain operated by Pyth's data providers. This blockchain is a computation
 4 | substrate to securely combine the data provider's prices into a single aggregate price for each Pyth price feed. Pythnet
 5 | forms the core of Pyth's off-chain price feeds that serve all blockchains.
 6 | 
 7 | Pythnet is powered by Solana technology: it is based on the same validator software, but is a Pyth specific chain that
 8 | is independent of Solana's mainnet. The Pyth Data Association enables each data provider to operate one validator by
 9 | delegating them the necessary stake. Once governance is live, it will take over management of validators from the Pyth
10 | Data Association.

12 | # Development
13 | 
14 | The Pythnet codebase is a fork of Solana's mainnet codebase. The most recent version of the codebase can be found at
15 | branch `pyth-v1.14.17` which includes Pythnet specific changes on top of Solana's mainnet codebase at v1.14.17
16 | (versioned with one more digit at `1.14.17X`).
