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.
UMA Surpasses Monthly 2022-2023 Assertion Volume in Single Day
UMA has already exceeded its typical monthly assertion volume from 2022/2023 on just the first day of October 2025. **Key metrics:** - 2022/2023: ~500 assertions per month - October 1, 2025: Already surpassed 500 assertions - September 2025: Over 22,000 assertions (20% of all-time total) - Total milestone: 100,000+ assertions reached This dramatic acceleration shows UMA's oracle network experiencing unprecedented growth, with daily volumes now matching what previously took entire months to achieve.
馃敭 Oracle Milestone
**UMA's Optimistic Oracle reaches $50 billion milestone** The decentralized oracle has secured over $50 billion in Total Transaction Value across its ecosystem: - **Across Protocol**: $31.6B in cross-chain transactions - **Polymarket**: $18.7B in prediction market volume - **oSnap**: $111M in governance transactions The platform has processed **170 million transactions** total, doubling its value from $25B earlier this year. This growth highlights increasing adoption of optimistic oracle technology for securing cross-chain bridges, prediction markets, and DAO governance systems.
