RLP/USD Oracle Feed Goes Live on API3

**API3 is positioning itself for dominance** in the emerging curation landscape by focusing on oracle transaction control. The project's **first-party oracle solutions** aim to avoid the competitive race to the bottom that other oracle projects face. This strategic approach differentiates API3 from competitors who rely on third-party data feeds. **Key advantages include:** - Direct data sourcing from APIs - Reduced intermediary dependencies - Enhanced data verification capabilities API3's co-founder has outlined a **hawkish strategy** that leverages their unique positioning in the oracle space. The "curation arc" represents a shift toward more selective, high-quality data provision rather than broad, commoditized oracle services. This positioning could prove crucial as **blockchain applications demand higher data quality** and reliability standards.

**API3 announces continued partnership with YeiFinance**, providing comprehensive oracle services on the Injective EVM mainnet from launch day. **Key developments:** - Oracle services include **OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) capture** capabilities - API3 will be **live on Injective EVM mainnet on day one** - Partnership extends existing support for YeiFinance operations The integration brings API3's oracle infrastructure to Injective's EVM-compatible environment, enabling DeFi protocols to access reliable price feeds and capture additional value through OEV mechanisms. *Stay updated on API3's expanding oracle network deployments.*

Morpho Labs and Yearn Finance continue their collaboration on OEV (Maximal Extractable Value) recapture through their joint vault initiative. The OEV-Boosted USDC vault has shown significant growth since its launch, surpassing $10M in deposits. Key points: - Partnership focuses on returning value to users - Vault specifically designed for USDC deposits - Plans include expansion to additional markets and chains - Aims to provide sustainable yield opportunities Visit [Morpho's OEV-Boosted Vault](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x68Aea7b82Df6CcdF76235D46445Ed83f85F845A3/oev-boosted-usdc) to learn more.

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.
