Lending Protocols Capturing Liquidation MEV with Oval
Lending Protocols Capturing Liquidation MEV with Oval
💰 Liquidation Goldmine Unlocked
Oval is a service that allows lending protocols to capture a significant portion of the miner extractable value (MEV) generated during liquidations on their platforms. When market volatility increases, the amount of MEV from liquidations also rises. Oval facilitates an auction process where MEV searchers bid to backrun price updates and liquidate undercollateralized loans first, earning the liquidation bonus. Oval then distributes up to 90% of this MEV back to the lending protocol. This helps lending protocols recapture value that would otherwise be lost to the MEV supply chain.
Liquidation MEV skyrockets when markets get volatile. For example, if @CompoundFinance had captured the liquidation MEV they generated during the volatile years of 2021-2023, they would’ve earned 136.97% more revenue. Don’t miss out this market cycle. Use Oval.
When a lending protocol pays out a liquidation bonus, who profits the most? Validators. Instead of incentivizing security, most of that bonus is lost to MEV. This isn’t fair. Oval captures that MEV and distributes it to those who created it.

Lending protocols generate OEV when liquidations occur on their platforms. Oval allows them to capture it. But what exactly happens when these liquidations occur? Let’s take a closer look. 🧵
Lending protocols issue liquidation bonuses to incentivize people to secure their solvency. However, the majority of these funds are lost to the MEV supply chain. This is a capital inefficiency that lending protocols can instantly solve with Oval. x.com/hal2001/status…
When we shipped Oval we learned that lending protocols had no idea how much they lost to MEV. This @aave v3 liquidation paid a $73,000 liquidation bonus. The liquidator only got $12. The rest was lost to MEV. @UMAprotocol Oval could have captured and returned ~$65K to Aave.

EigenLayer Launches EigenCloud: A New Era of Verifiable Cloud Computing
EigenLayer has announced EigenCloud, a groundbreaking platform for verifiable cloud computing. This development marks a significant evolution in blockchain infrastructure, enabling next-generation programmable applications with built-in verification capabilities. The concept has been in development since April 2024, when @sreeramkannan first outlined the vision: - Ethereum as Verifiable Internet - Rollups as Verifiable Web Servers - AVSs as Verifiable SaaS - EigenLayer as Verifiable Cloud EigenCloud aims to provide a foundation where trust is replaced by verification, potentially transforming how decentralized applications are built and deployed.
APIs can't tell you who won a debate. UMA can.
UMA's optimistic oracle system offers a novel solution for determining subjective outcomes like debate winners - something traditional APIs cannot handle effectively. The system works by having participants stake tokens on their claimed outcome. If no one disputes within a set timeframe, that becomes the accepted result. If disputed, token holders vote to determine the truth. - Enables decentralized consensus on subjective matters - Economic incentives encourage honest reporting - More reliable than centralized API solutions for complex judgments This approach aligns with Web3's vision of distributed truth-finding and could revolutionize how we reach consensus on debatable topics.
Real-world Events Now Secured Onchain Through UMA Protocol
UMA Protocol continues its mission of bringing real-world truth onchain through its optimistic oracle system. The protocol enables verification of real-world events and facts in a transparent, decentralized manner. Key developments: - Integration with prediction markets for truth verification - Scalable fact-checking infrastructure - Economic incentives for truth resolution - Front-running misinformation through profit opportunities The system allows participants to profit from resolving uncertainty while combating disinformation. This approach parallels Chainlink's consensus mechanisms for real-world events, creating a more robust ecosystem for onchain truth verification.
