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: 🧵⬇️
🔗 Vyro Finance Joins Api3 Ecosystem
**Vyro Finance** is integrating with the Api3 ecosystem as a CDP (Collateralized Debt Position) protocol. The platform is launching on **Unichain** and will enable users to mint **$vyUSD**, an overcollateralized stablecoin, using the following assets as collateral: - $ETH - $wstETH - $UNI This integration aims to **unlock liquidity** across the broader ecosystem by providing a stable asset backed by multiple collateral types.
Maple Finance Enables SYRUP Collateral for USDC Borrowing on Morpho
**Maple Finance** has launched a new lending feature allowing users to borrow USDC using their $SYRUP tokens as collateral. **Key Details:** - Available exclusively on [Morpho](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/market/0x729badf297ee9f2f6b3f717b96fd355fc6ec00422284ce1968e76647b258cf44/syrupusdc-usdc) through Kabu USDC - Users can supply SyrupUSDC as collateral while earning approximately 11-12% yield - USDC borrowing rate is around 56% - The mechanism allows for recursive yield farming, generating an additional ~5% yield with each cycle - Curated by Gauntlet and MEV Capital vaults This integration expands utility for SYRUP holders, enabling them to access liquidity without selling their tokens while continuing to earn yield on their collateral.
ONDO Now Accepted as Collateral on Morpho
