OEV Network creates efficient market for oracle updates
OEV Network has created an efficient market for oracle updates, allowing searchers to bid for valuable updates. This eliminates the need to wait for updates and enables searchers to update the price when it is most valuable. The lack of data feed granularity is a significant factor driving the adoption of OEV Network.
OEV Network creates an efficient market around oracle updates, allowing searchers to bid for valuable updates, like in the case of liquidations. With OEV Network, searchers don't need to wait for oracle updates. They can compete in an ongoing market and update the price when it
Oracle Project Removes All Control Over Data Sources—Demand Hits Zero
An oracle project completely eliminated its authority over data consumption and sources in May 2026. **Key Changes:** - Removed ability to modify data source locations - Eliminated upgradable proxies that could change operational rules - Stripped all centralized control mechanisms The result was stark: **demand dropped to exactly zero**. This outcome contrasts sharply with the project's previous role, where 90% of their work involved risk management—advising projects and curators against dangerous implementations rather than simply providing data feeds. The experiment reveals a tension in oracle design: users may prefer some level of oversight and risk mitigation over pure decentralization, even when the latter offers greater trustlessness.
