API3 Integration with INIT on Blast L2
API3 Integration with INIT on Blast L2
INIT has integrated with API3 on Blast L2, utilizing API3's dAPIs for the Liquidity Hook Money Market. API3's verifiable, decentralized data feeds ensure accurate asset prices on INIT. Blast L2 now offers access to over 140 decentralized data feeds, including a QRNG for random numbers and an upcoming OEV Network launch for MEV recapture. Developers on Blast L2 can easily access and integrate these data feeds from the API3 Market. Join the community to build with a secure and scalable approach to on-chain real-world data.
API3's verifiable, decentralized data feeds are now available on @Blast_L2, with the full oracle stack being deployed to give builders access to: ▲ +140 decentralized data feeds (dAPIs) ▲ QRNG for truly random numbers ▲ OEV Network to recapture protocol MEV (launching soon!)
We've just launched new data feeds on @Blast_L2. 💥 Builders on Blast can simply read any data feed: ▲ No need to push your own prices ▲ No gas costs ▲ Built to scale Now live on the API3 Market. #StraightFromTheSource
OEV Network Cuts Arbitrum Auction Times in Half
**OEV Network is reducing auction lengths on Arbitrum from 30 seconds to 15 seconds**, scheduled for Monday, September 8 at 10:00 UTC. The network has maintained **100% uptime over 9+ months** with more than 1,500 auctions completed. The upgrade aims to speed up the auction process while maintaining system reliability. - Auction time: 30s → 15s - Target date: Sept 8, 10:00 UTC - Expected minimal downtime - Updates via OEV Discord Channel OEV Network allows MEV searchers to bid for valuable price updates, with auction proceeds returning to the originating dApps.
API3 Pauses Services on Two Networks Due to Technical Issues
**API3 announces service changes** affecting two major networks: - **Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta** will be discontinued by Polygon due to technical challenges and strategic shifts - **Kava Chain** feed maintenance will be paused until demand increases **Action Required:** Developers must **update their integrations by September 11, 2025** to avoid service disruptions. This follows Polygon's previous servicing updates aimed at improving network performance and stability. The zkEVM beta shutdown represents a significant shift in Polygon's technical strategy. *Builders should review their current integrations and plan migration strategies accordingly.*
Morpho Labs and Yearn Finance OEV-Boosted Vault Update

The OEV-Boosted USDC vault has shown significant growth since its launch, surpassing $10M in deposits. Key points: - Partnership focuses on returning value to users - Vault specifically designed for USDC deposits - Plans include expansion to additional markets and chains - Aims to provide sustainable yield opportunities Visit [Morpho's OEV-Boosted Vault](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x68Aea7b82Df6CcdF76235D46445Ed83f85F845A3/oev-boosted-usdc) to learn more.
ETHPrague Conference to Address DeFi Value Recapture Through OEV
The upcoming ETHPrague conference (May 27-29) will feature discussions on Optimistic Execution Value (OEV) in DeFi protocols. The event aims to educate developers and protocol owners about: - Methods to recapture value currently being lost in DeFi operations - Implementation strategies for OEV integration - Revenue enhancement opportunities for protocols The conference follows a successful presentation at ETH Bratislava, where similar topics were explored. Attendees can find representatives for detailed discussions by looking for Api3-branded participants.
Oracle Migration Guide: Earn Rewards and Enhance Security
A new migration guide helps lending protocols transition from Chainlink to API3, offering multiple benefits: - Earn revenue through Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) Rewards - Enhance security with multi-oracle support - Seamless upgrade process that maintains system stability The guide comes as lending protocols increasingly recognize untapped revenue potential in oracle services. @MetisDevs workshop provides implementation support for protocols looking to upgrade their oracle infrastructure.
