Solana Oracle

Separate retrieval from acceptance

An offchain client may retrieve a report and construct a transaction, while the Solana program enforces the rules for consuming it. The user interface is not the final authority. Another caller can submit instructions without using that interface.

Document the onchain checks independently of the frontend: expected account ownership, required verification, stable feed identity, acceptable timestamp and numeric interpretation. The Solana account reference provides the underlying account-model context.

Understand the chosen account integration

Pyth's Solana documentation describes report-account integration and the need to validate ownership, feed and time. Use the Pyth Solana note to identify that documentation. The exact account model and SDK behavior must match the version and deployment you actually choose.

Do not combine account addresses or methods from unrelated tutorials. Record the network, provider configuration, supported report format and asset mapping together. Recheck that record when dependencies or deployment settings change.

Preserve timing and numeric context

A report received now can still describe an earlier observation. Set a purpose-specific acceptance window and test its boundary. Keep any scale and confidence information attached to the value until your program has applied the relevant policy.

A price's uncertainty measure is not a promise of execution at that price. For an operation that changes financial exposure, review timing and uncertainty together with the application's own limits and failure behavior.

Plan the full transaction workflow

Retrieval, transaction construction, submission and program acceptance can fail independently. Provide meaningful error states and bounded retries. Confirm whether an earlier attempt succeeded before repeating an economic action.
