API3 Introduces OEV Network to Mitigate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in DeFi
🔓 MEV Mitigation Breakthrough
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) has become a significant issue in the DeFi ecosystem, leading to increased transaction costs, reduced liquidity provider profitability, and a negative impact on user experience. API3 has introduced the OEV Network, designed to recapture Oracle Extractable Value (OEV), a subset of MEV arising from oracle updates or lack thereof. The OEV Network aims to maintain the security guarantees of data feeds while allowing the value generated by oracle updates to be auctioned off and recaptured by the protocol. All API3 data feeds will be integrated with the OEV Network, enabling protocols to optimize performance and reduce the negative impact of MEV by simply reading any data feed on the API3 Market and enabling the OEV Network.
Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) has become an increasingly important topic in the DeFi ecosystem due to the potential negative effects it may have on dApps and users. But what is MEV❓ Here's a short thread to understand the basics: 🧵⬇️
API3 Oracle Services Launch on Injective EVM Mainnet Supporting YeiFinance
**API3 announces continued partnership with YeiFinance**, providing comprehensive oracle services on the Injective EVM mainnet from launch day. **Key developments:** - Oracle services include **OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) capture** capabilities - API3 will be **live on Injective EVM mainnet on day one** - Partnership extends existing support for YeiFinance operations The integration brings API3's oracle infrastructure to Injective's EVM-compatible environment, enabling DeFi protocols to access reliable price feeds and capture additional value through OEV mechanisms. *Stay updated on API3's expanding oracle network deployments.*

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.
