I’m building for the Solana Foundation **Stocklana** hackathon (submissions close 25 Sep, 20:00 UTC) and targeting the **“Best use of Pyth market data”** track. I’d like to request a hackathon-scoped Pyth Pro token entitled to US equities. **🔗 Chain** Solana. Reads are against **mainnet** ; the program is deployed on **devnet**. **⏰ Timestamp** Reproduced at **2026-09-22 10:12:24 UTC**. First seen 2026-09-20. **🧪 Steps to reproduce** 1. Sign up at pythdata.app and create an API key (free Terminal trial). 2. Request a crypto feed with it — works, HTTP 200. 3. Request any US equity feed with the same key — HTTP 403. **📄 Code snippet** ```bash # control — crypto: HTTP 200 curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PYTH_API_KEY" \ "https://hermes.pyth.network/v2/updates/price/latest?ids[]=ef0d8b6fda2ceba41da15d4095d1da392a0d2f8ed0c6c7bc0f4cfac8c280b56d&parsed=true" # Equity.US.AAPL/USD: HTTP 403 curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PYTH_API_KEY" \ "https://hermes.pyth.network/v2/updates/price/latest?ids[]=49f6b65cb1de6b10eaf75e7c03ca029c306d0357e91b5311b175084a5ad55688&parsed=true" # -> Not entitled: feed 49f6b65c...5688 (no grant accepts this feed (asset type 'equity', instrument type 'spot', exchange 1)) # Equity.Index.AAPL/USD (24/7): HTTP 403 curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PYTH_API_KEY" \ "https://hermes.pyth.network/v2/updates/price/latest?ids[]=aaba35e6f33fb973bb2201d48a79ae24795affa6ba8bd50a93dcaf7da0030f36&parsed=true" # -> Not entitled: feed aaba35e6...0f36 (no grant accepts this gated feed; it requires access to one of the following groups: ["pyth-indices"]) ``` So the key authenticates fine; it just isn’t entitled to asset type `equity` or to the `pyth-indices` group. **Name of the project** **Deliverable** — an options venue on tokenized US stocks (xStocks) on Solana. Writers sell covered calls against real tokenized shares; settlement is physical delivery of the share itself. Why Pyth equity data matters here specifically: the venue’s settlement gate refuses to act when it can’t defend the security’s state — market closed, halted, or a stale or unreliable price. Today it already reads **Pyth Lazer** equity prices indirectly, through the `PythLazer AAPLx/USD` entries that Kamino Scope republishes on-chain. A direct entitlement would let the program verify Pyth updates itself instead of trusting an intermediary’s copy. The 24/7 `Equity.Index` feeds are the other half: they let the interface show the price the venue _could_ have settled against while the reference market is shut, next to the refusal — which is the core of the demo. **What I’m asking for** - A hackathon-scoped token entitled to asset type **`equity`** , and if at all possible the **`pyth-indices`** group. - Tickers: AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, SPY, QQQ, GOOGL, META, MSTR, COIN, CRCL. - Fine for it to expire once judging concludes (2 Oct). One technical confirmation, if you have a moment: is the Lazer Solana contract **`pytd2yyk641x7ak7mkaasSJVXh6YYZnC7wTmtgAyxPt`** the right on-chain verifier for Pro equity updates requested with `formats: ["solana"]`? I’d rather verify the signed update in the program than read it off-chain. **Contact** - Email (also my Pyth Terminal account): [egorslavutich@gmail.com](mailto:egorslavutich@gmail.com) - Discord: rayyer\_220 | id 677158150691880980 - Telegram: @L0ceo Thanks! ---
