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…
Across Protocol Considers Transition from DAO to U.S. C-Corp Structure
**Across Protocol**, a crosschain bridge and interoperability protocol secured by UMA, has published a temperature-check proposal to explore a significant structural change. The proposal examines whether Across should transition from its current DAO and token structure to a **U.S. C-corporation**. This would involve: - Token-to-equity exchange for existing token holders - Token buyout program - Shift from decentralized governance to traditional corporate structure This represents a notable trend in the web3 space, where some protocols are reconsidering their organizational structures. The temp-check allows the community to gauge sentiment before any formal decision is made. The proposal is currently in the discussion phase, inviting feedback from stakeholders on this potential evolution.
