# Price Feeds

Access to reliable, real-world data is essential for decentralised applications (dApps), particularly in Decentralised Finance (DeFi). Real-time asset prices, forming the backbone of any DeFi protocol, are among the most critical data points.

This is where Data Feeds come in. Think of them as secure bridges connecting the off-chain world of financial markets to your on-chain smart contracts. They provide a continuous stream of verified, aggregated price data for a wide range of assets, enabling your dApp to react to market fluctuations and operate correctly.

## In This Section

* [Basic Price Feed Tutorial](/docs-by-chain/solana-svm/price-feeds/basic-price-feed.md): Integrate managed, oracle-verified price feeds into a Solana program.
* [Advanced Price Feed Tutorial](/docs-by-chain/solana-svm/price-feeds/advanced-price-feed.md): Reduce compute costs with an authorized cranker pattern for oracle-backed quotes.
* [Quote Program Accounts](/docs-by-chain/solana-svm/price-feeds/quote-program-accounts.md): Derive and read canonical quote-program accounts without relying on fixed offsets.
* [Authority-Updated Feeds](/docs-by-chain/solana-svm/price-feeds/authority-updated-feeds.md): Publish quote accounts directly from a trusted wallet or PDA when your application is the source of truth.

For new Solana/SVM feed-hash integrations, use the quote program: `queue.fetchManagedUpdateIxs(...)` writes canonical `OracleQuote` accounts derived from the queue and feed ID. The classic `PullFeed.fetchUpdateIx(...)` path is legacy compatibility only and requires queue/gateway support for classic PullFeed accounts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.switchboard.xyz/docs-by-chain/solana-svm/price-feeds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
