+## Why Update Prices
+
+Pyth uses a pull-based oracle model. Unlike traditional push oracles that automatically update prices on-chain at regular intervals, Pyth requires users to explicitly update the on-chain price before reading it.
+
+This design offers several advantages:
+
+- **Lower costs**: You only pay for price updates when you need them
+- **Lower latency**: You can fetch the latest price update directly from Pyth's low-latency oracle network and submit it on-chain immediately
+- **Flexibility**: Different applications can update prices at different frequencies based on their needs
+
+In the Pull integration pattern, your contract must:
+
+1. Accept `priceUpdate` data from the caller (fetched from [Hermes](../../how-pyth-works/hermes))
+2. Call `updatePriceFeeds()` to submit this data on-chain before reading prices
+3. Pay a small fee for each update (calculated via `getUpdateFee()`)
+
+<Callout type="warning" emoji="⚠️">
+  **Important**: If you don't update the price or if the on-chain price becomes
+  too stale, calls to `getPriceNoOlderThan()` will revert with a `StalePrice`
+  error (0x19abf40e). See [how to fetch price
+  updates](../../fetch-price-updates) for more details.
