Oval's Innovative Approach to Capturing Overlooked Exchange Value (OEV)
Oval's Innovative Approach to Capturing Overlooked Exchange Value (OEV)
馃挵 Oval's OEV Capture
Oval has introduced a novel method of auctioning the right to extract Overlooked Exchange Value (OEV) to the highest bidder, with the profits generated being returned to the lending protocols that originally created the OEV. This approach aims to help lending protocols reclaim millions of dollars in OEV revenue that they currently miss out on each year.
How does Oval capture OEV? Order flow auctions. Oval auctions the right to extract OEV to whoever will return the most value to the users. The profits generate revenue for the lending protocol that created the OEV in the first place.

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.
