Q3 2026 — Pyth Express Relay Fees: On Hold Pending Acquisition Vote

Summary

No fee changes proposed for Q3 2026.

The DAO is currently voting on CO-PIP-122.V2: Douro Labs Acquisition of Express Relay. Until that vote concludes, proposing fee adjustments would be premature.

Context

In Q2, the Pythian Council and Douro Labs proposed an orderly wind-down of Express Relay based on economics and distribution challenges. That discussion evolved into a formal acquisition proposal, which is now in its second voting round.

The acquisition vote should conclude by the end of July.
