YeiFinance Launches on Injective EVM with API3 Oracle Integration
**YeiFinance has officially launched on Injective EVM**, integrating API3's first-party oracles with OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) capabilities. - Builders can now access **real-time data feeds** through API3's oracle infrastructure - The integration provides **secure and transparent** data delivery directly from source - API3 served as a **launch partner** for Injective EVM mainnet This deployment enables developers to leverage advanced oracle functionality including OEV capture mechanisms. The partnership represents API3's continued expansion across EVM-compatible networks. Developers can access the data feeds at [market.api3.org/injective](http://market.api3.org/injective).
New DeFi Infrastructure Proposes Single Entity for Chain Money Markets
A new DeFi concept is emerging that could **simplify blockchain infrastructure** by consolidating multiple services into one entity. Currently, blockchain networks must interact separately with: - Lending protocols - Oracle services - Curator networks The proposed solution would allow chains to access **complete money market functionality** through a single provider with aligned incentives. This approach aims to reduce complexity while maintaining the **"skin in the game"** principle - ensuring the service provider has financial stake in successful outcomes. The concept addresses a key pain point in current DeFi architecture where fragmented services can create operational overhead and potential failure points. *Key benefit: Streamlined access to essential DeFi services without sacrificing decentralization principles.*
