OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) Network is transforming how oracle updates and liquidations work on L2s:
- Eliminates block-level spam during oracle updates and liquidations
- Creates an efficient market for oracle updates where searchers can bid for valuable updates
- Moves data competition off-chain, improving L2 performance
- Replaces probabilistic arms races with definitive outcomes
- Allows searchers to update prices at optimal times
The system addresses data feed granularity issues while making the entire process more efficient and predictable.
No more spam to land in the same block as the oracle update for a liquidation, when you control when the update happens. OEV auctions make L2s more performant by moving competition for data elsewhere. Definitive outcomes instead of probabilistic arms races.
Today, we introduce a new thesis: MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains. Spectacularly wasteful onchain searching is starting to consume most of the capacity of most high-throughput blockchains. This is a market failure we can no longer ignore.
Sonic DeFi Workshop #3(a): Deploy Your Own Aave Fork

Sonic Labs is hosting Workshop #3(a) focused on deploying Aave forks with Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) integration. Key Details: - **Hosts**: billyjitsu_ from Api3 and 0xseg from Sonic - **Topic**: Step-by-step guide to fork Aave and integrate OEV oracles - **Date**: June 20 - **Time**: 15:00 UTC - **Platform**: Live stream on X (formerly Twitter) This technical workshop will demonstrate how to launch your own lending protocol based on Aave's architecture while making it OEV-ready.

OEV-Boosted Morpho Markets Launch with API3 and Yearn
Morpho Labs introduces enhanced lending markets that capture and redistribute liquidation value back to market users. This new system, called OEV-Boosted Morpho Markets, is built through a collaboration between Morpho Labs, Yearn Finance, and API3. Recent market activity demonstrated the potential, with $19M in liquidations on Morpho Labs. A successful test on a tBTC/USDC lending market showed effective OEV capture. Key features: - Liquidation value retained within markets - Automated yield boosting - Integration with Yearn's curation - Powered by API3's infrastructure [Learn more about OEV-Boosted Markets](https://blog.api3.org/introducing-oev-boosted-morpho-markets/)
ETHPrague Conference to Address DeFi Value Recapture Through OEV

The upcoming ETHPrague conference (May 27-29) will feature discussions on Optimistic Execution Value (OEV) in DeFi protocols. The event aims to educate developers and protocol owners about: - Methods to recapture value currently being lost in DeFi operations - Implementation strategies for OEV integration - Revenue enhancement opportunities for protocols The conference follows a successful presentation at ETH Bratislava, where similar topics were explored. Attendees can find representatives for detailed discussions by looking for Api3-branded participants.
Oracle Migration Guide: Earn Rewards and Enhance Security

A new migration guide helps lending protocols transition from Chainlink to API3, offering multiple benefits: - Earn revenue through Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) Rewards - Enhance security with multi-oracle support - Seamless upgrade process that maintains system stability The guide comes as lending protocols increasingly recognize untapped revenue potential in oracle services. @MetisDevs workshop provides implementation support for protocols looking to upgrade their oracle infrastructure.
