The Pythian Council is in charge of approving oracle program updates or changes to the data request fees.
As defined in the adopted Pyth DAO Constitution, the Pythian Council is made of 8 members who are signers of the Pythian Multisig Wallet.
The Pythian Multisig Wallet has powers to perform actions that are delegated to it by the Pyth DAO.
The Operational PIPs delegated to the Pythian Council involve:
- the upgrade of the oracle program
- the upgrade of the verification program for each of the blockchains where Pyth data is accessible
- the setting of data request fees per blockchain, as well as other protocol or network fees
- the management of PGAS allocation and delegation to validators
The execution of such actions by the Pythian Council requires 7-of-9 approval (with one of the default multisig holders being the Operations Wallet itself)
