> **Visual Note:** The image is a pie chart from Pyth showing RWA Perp volume by data provider for August 1-15, 2026, revealing that 96.2% of the $420B notional volume ($404B) was priced by Pyth, while only $16B came from other sources—directly supporting the post's claim that Pyth powered the bulk of the 66% month-over-month growth.  

> 
> "The first half of August saw $420B in RWA perp volume. Up 66% versus the same period in July.

That is $404B powered by Pyth."

Pyth has >1100 US equity feeds available (including Moderna).

The visual content does not clearly display any readable text, numbers, or identifiable NFT artwork due to the heavy pixelation.

> **Visual Note:** A figure inspired by Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" reaches toward a chibi-style angel holding a glowing purple orb, with a swirl of cherubic figures behind her.

> **Visual Note:** A smartphone resting on a wet pavement at night displays the "DOURO LABS" and "Hyperliquid Policy Center" logos, with a classical columned building and city skyline (including an American flag) visible in the background. The image visually reinforces the post's message about Douro Labs and the Hyperliquid Policy Center petitioning the SEC regarding onchain reference prices for blockchain-based securities trading.

> **Visual Note:** The illustration shows two cartoon zombie-like figures facing each other—one with an exposed, detailed pink brain, and the other with an empty, hollowed-out skull—under the text "WHY YOU THINK GAP IS MORE VALUABLE THAN COUNTINUOUS PRICING." The meme satirizes the belief that periodic price gaps matter more than round-the-clock market pricing, aligning with the post's emphasis on @PythNetwork's continuous pricing indices for 24/7/365 markets.

> **Visual Note:** The image displays a book cover titled "U.S. Treasury Yields And Prices" by Ryan Nauman and Steven Garcia, published by Wiley and The Pyth Institute, featuring a backdrop of modern skyscrapers. The caption aligns with the post's message about leveraging the Pyth Network ($PYTH) for real-time access to U.S. Treasury yields and price data, emphasizing the importance of not overlooking this valuable financial resource.

> **Visual Note:** A shirtless, muscular man wearing a duck cap stands in a vibrant field of red poppies, purple lupines, and yellow daisies beneath a cloudy sky. The surreal, absurd imagery mirrors the post's chaotic, high-energy crypto hype about PYTH reaching $5 and onchain perps reshaping finance—visually capturing the unhinged optimism of a "good morning" crypto rally call.

> **Visual Note:** A humorous text message exchange where one person lists 'gold, silver, pyth indices' as essentials, and the other responds 'Hmm.. no, those aren't the essentials I meant. Are you Pyth Pilled again?' to which they reply 'Always baby Always.'
