Below data is as of end of November, 2025, sourced from this Dune Dashboard here and internal data. Shown below are the monthly averages of price updates per chains. You can find the table here.
Neon → 0.15 NEON
Pyth usage on Neon has been rather stable but quite low—as DeFi activity on Neon is still in its infancy. Updating 6 price feeds on Neon is actually not that cheap as txs cost on average $0.02 (0.3 NEON).
Based on the above, I’d recommend the same baseline of $0.01 per feed update: 0.15 NEON.
opBNB → 0.0000125 BNB
Pyth deployment on opBNB was the 1st ever requested via the DAO forum and it was agreed upon that the onchain fee to be 0.000186 BNB (currently $0.15). Despite a rather ‘significant fee’, Pyth price feeds found usage onchain and collected over 15 BNB (close to $15,000) since being deployed. Now usage is constant with one price feed updated every hour — explorer. opBNB DeFi ecosystem is still quite similar to a year ago with little relevant DeFi apps.
Nonetheless. I would recommend lowering the fees charged as using Pyth for non-derivatives protocols would likely be not possible. I’d suggest the fees to be similar to those proposed on BNB Chain of 0.0000125 BNB.
Optimism → 0.000003 ETH
Pyth usage on Optimism is rather stable and sustained throughout 2025. Using Pyth on Optimism is very cheap as it currently costs sub $0.001 to update up to 4 price feeds altogether.
Given the current low cost, I would again, suggest applying the 0.000003 ETH fee per price feed.
Plasma → 0.05 XPL
Pyth usage on Plasma recently stopped (in December) after a correct 2 months start. Using Pyth on Plasma is incredibly cheap as a transaction to update a Pyth price feed costs < $0.000001.
Polygon → 0.1 POL
Pyth Price Feeds have seen their activity constantly decline on Polygon—most of the DeFi activity on Polygon remains isolated in a handful of applications that most do not need an oracle. Using Pyth on Polygon is super cheap as a single price update costs about $0.001.
I would suggest applying the basic $0.01 per feed fee to be in line with the other chains (0.1 POL).
Polygon zkEVM → 0.000003 ETH
Similar to Polygon above, Pyth and oracle based DeFi activity has been low to non-existant on Polygon zkEVM. It is also important to note that using Pyth on Polygon zkEVM is already quite expensive as txs to update feeds costs on average $0.15.
I would suggest applying the baseline 0.000003 ETH fee per update on Polygon zkEVM.
Polynomial → 0.0000015 ETH
Polynomial is a derivatives protocol on its own appchain with a Pyth deployment. The activity (updates of Pyth feeds) has been significant and quite sustainable throughout 2025. There are usually 9 feeds updated altogether on Polynomial and this tx costs is super low ($0.001).
Based on the above, I would suggest applying the same fee as Base (0.0000015 ETH), which is a slight discount when compared to most other L2s or EVM L1s.
Ronin → 0.1 RON
As for Avalanche, Aurora, Conflux, and others, Ronin saw its fees increased early in 2025 to 0.001 RON. With this, the DAO collected just above 1,000 RON as usage dramatically slowed down as the main user switched oracle, though usage started again (in December).
With the RON price action, I would suggest increasing the fee from 0.001 RON to 0.1 RON to match the $0.01 update target.
Scroll → 0.000003 ETH
Activity on Scroll (Pyth’s and DeFi more generally) had a rather tough/quiet year in 2025. Using Pyth on Scroll is pretty cheap as txs cost about $0.001.
As for other L2s, I’d recommend applying the now 0.000003 ETH fee baseline on Scroll.
Superseed → 0.000003 ETH
Superseed is an OP L2 chain that failed to gained traction this year and currently have less than $1M in TVL. With a strong start, Pyth usage went to zero on Superseed as there’s no onchain activity there.
I would still recommend charging the same fee, as on other EVMs, of 0.000003 ETH.
Sei EVM → 0.1 SEI
Similarly to Avalanche, Aurora, and a few other chains, Sei had seen its fees increased early in 2025 to 0.01 SEI. Despite this increase in fees, usage has sustained throughout 2025, and over 2,500 SEI has been generated by the DAO so far.
I would recommend increasing the fees to 0.1 SEI to match with the $0.01 overall baseline for Pyth feeds across networks.
Shimmer → 100 SMR
Like Avalanche above, early 2025, fees were increased on Shimmer. While usage stopped mid-year, this is coming from the underlying chain activity rather than cost to use Pyth feeds.
To approximately match the $0.01 new baseline mark, I’d suggest increasing the fees from 1 to 100 SMR.
Skate → 0.000003 ETH
There has not been a single price update performed on Skate chain this year. This is partly by design but still, I’d recommend charging the now baseline of 0.000003 ETH.
Sonic (EVM) → 0.000000000000000001 S
Pyth usage on Sonic has been significant and growing through all of 2025. It is important to note that Sonic currently has gas rebate program (FeeM) towards protocol generating txs/gas fees and the Pyth Network is currently ranked 6th in this program being allocated more than 180,000 S tokens ($10,000-$15,000). Having charged onchain protocol fees would have likely driven much less usage, and by extension less FeeM rewards.
Based on this, I would suggest keeping fees as is (0.000000000000000001 S), as the DAO generates likely more solely based on FeeM. If/when FeeM program would be changed or not yielding as much S tokens as currently, I would suggest increasing the protocol fees.
Soneium → 0.000003 ETH
Pyth usage on Soneium has been growing steadily through 2025. Cost to update feeds on Soneium is pretty cheap as they hover around $0.002 while updating 3 feeds together.
As for any ETH L2s, I would recommend increasing the fees on Soneium to 0.000003 ETH.
Story Protocol → 0.006 IP
Pyth usage on Story has been quite stable and pretty significant as every 20 seconds, 4 price feeds get updated. Story is a super cheap chain to update 4 Pyth feeds on as it costs sub $0.000001.
Nonetheless, I would still suggest aiming for approx. $0.01 per feed on Story. This might push the updaters to slightly reduce their activity but a balance shall be found.
Swellchain → 0.000003 ETH
Pyth deployment on Swellchain was performed through the DAO with fees established at 0.00005 ETH ($0.15). There has been close to zero usage on Swellchain this year for Pyth feeds. It may be due to the significant update costs.
Therefore, I’d suggest reducing the fees to the baseline of 0.000003 ETH.
