gm Pythians 
I am putting my name forward once more for the 5th Pythian Council.
The basics:
-
Wallet:
3ouXHhNH6QgyxDRLmjgCddbTqYBkPSufLiLgTp2BVy2p -
Key custody: Ledger hardware wallet
-
Name: Jayant Krishnamurthy | @jayantkrish (Twitter) | @jayantk (GitHub) | otiosetortoise (Discord)
-
Role: Co-founder & CTO, Douro Labs
-
Location: North America
Track record:
-
Pythian Council member every term since inception (Councils #1 → #4)
-
Top vote-getter in Election #2, auto-renewed into Council #3
-
~5 years contributing software to Pyth across the entire codebase — oracle program, price feed clients, governance program, cross-chain verification, Lazer
-
Co-founder of Douro Labs, the largest technical contributor to the Pyth protocol
Recent contributions:
-
Helped design and ship Pyth Lazer — sub-millisecond price feeds for latency-sensitive DeFi/CeFi venues (launched Jan 2025)
-
Continued contributions to the oracle program and verification programs across the chains Pyth serves
-
Supported operational PIPs as a council signer — program upgrades, fee changes, PGAS delegation
-
Active in technical reviews of new Lazer trusted-signer enablements (e.g. Cardano), Sui Lazer contract upgrades, and other recent OP-PIPs the Pythian Council has executed
Why I’m running again:
The Pythian Council is the council that signs off on the protocol’s most technical operational changes — oracle and verification upgrades, fee parameters, PGAS allocation. As CTO of Douro Labs, I’m involved with most of that code on the build side anyway, and I want to keep helping the council make well-informed decisions on the operational side. The next term will be pivotal: Lazer is scaling out across more chains, the oracle keeps expanding the asset universe, and the protocol’s economics keep maturing. Happy to keep doing the work.
Other relevant experience:
-
Co-founder & CTO, Douro Labs (since Aug 2023)
-
Software engineer, Jump Trading Group
-
Long-time technical contributor to the Pyth Network across Solana, Wormhole/Pythnet, and the various target chains
Looking forward to continuing the journey with you all.
