Yes. SyntheticSwap supports PYTH swaps with no registration or identity verification.

What chains does Pyth support?

Pyth publishes price feeds on 50+ blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Sui, Aptos, and all major EVM-compatible chains.

What is PYTH used for?

PYTH is the governance token for Pyth Network. Holders stake PYTH to vote on fee parameters, data provider additions, and protocol upgrades.

Was there a PYTH airdrop?

Yes. A major retroactive airdrop distributed 255 million PYTH to DeFi users across Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and other chains who had interacted with protocols using Pyth price feeds.
