Oval: Capturing Liquidation Oracle Extractable Value for Lending Protocols
Oval: Capturing Liquidation Oracle Extractable Value for Lending Protocols
🔒 Liquidation Season Profits
Oval is a new application built on Flashbots' MEV-Share infrastructure that allows lending protocols to capture Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) generated during liquidations. When Chainlink price feeds update and trigger potential liquidations, it creates OEV. Oval uses MEV-Share's order flow auctions to allow searchers to bid for the right to backrun these price updates and execute liquidations. The winning bid proceeds are then distributed to the lending protocol and oracle providers. This system promotes capital efficiency by ensuring liquidators are compensated based on market demand, redirecting up to 90% of OEV back to protocols. Over $2.5M has been lost to OEV on Aave and Compound in the past 30 days alone.
Almost 300 ETH is lost to MEV every day. This happens at the expense of everyone in the Ethereum ecosystem. How can we capture MEV and distribute the profits fairly instead? MEV Capture is about building tools that capture MEV and redirect it to the protocols and users that
Liquidation season is upon us. Last week, we witnessed over $6.7 million in liquidation volume across Aave and Compound, totaling almost $9.6 million over the past 30 days. About $2.5 million has been lost to OEV because of this.
Lending protocols can capture liquidation OEV with Oval. This is possible because Oval is built on MEV-Share infrastructure developed by Flashbots. Here’s how it works. Flashbots’ MEV-Share is an open-source protocol designed to capture MEV. It achieves this by efficiently
Over the last 7 days, 404 liquidations happened on @aave and @compoundfinance. These protocols paid $2.3M+ in liquidation incentives, 76% of which were lost to MEV. This is why MEV capture is crucial. More liquidations will happen in this bull market. Be prepared with Oval.
Start capturing OEV now with Oval. 🥚 Oval is a plug-and play tool that any EVM lending protocol can quickly integrate without making any contract adjustments. Simply plug in Oval and start getting paid to use your oracle. x.com/UMAprotocol/st…
Polymarket NHL Stanley Cup Betting Volume Hits $250M
The Florida Panthers Stanley Cup Championship market on Polymarket has reached significant trading volume of approximately $250 million. The market is secured by UMA protocol, demonstrating growing interest in decentralized sports betting. This follows February's record-breaking Super Bowl market which exceeded $1B in volume, split between: - Kansas City Chiefs (53%) - Philadelphia Eagles (47%) These volumes indicate increasing mainstream adoption of decentralized prediction markets.
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.
UMA's AI Truth Bot Achieves 80-95% Accuracy in Prediction Markets
UMA's experimental @OOTruthBot has analyzed thousands of Polymarket prediction markets, showing promising results in determining outcomes. The bot achieves: - 80% accuracy across all markets - 95-100% accuracy on clear, unambiguous cases - Exceptional performance in sports (especially soccer) and crypto price targets - Strong results in election outcomes with official reporting However, the bot struggles with: - Narrative-heavy markets - Ambiguous outcomes - Meme-style predictions Key finding: AI excels with structured, factual data but requires human oversight for nuanced interpretation. UMA's approach combines AI efficiency with human judgment for optimal results. Follow [@OOTruthBot](https://twitter.com/OOTruthBot) to track live market proposals.
