Yearn Launches OEV-Boosted USDC Vault with API3 Oracles
Yearn Launches OEV-Boosted USDC Vault with API3 Oracles
馃 Validators Hate This Vault
Yearn Finance has launched a new USDC vault that leverages API3's Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) network to boost yields.
The vault represents a shift in how liquidation value is captured in DeFi lending markets. Previously, liquidator bots competed through gas price auctions, with most value going to validators.
API3's OEV network changes this by:
- Obscuring oracle data
- Auctioning data to liquidators
- Redirecting value from validators to protocols
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced yield potential
- Exclusive use of API3 oracles
- Increased oracle diversity
Introducing OEV-Boosted USDC Vault: This is the first of a new range of Yearn-curated @MorphoLabs vaults that use @Api3DAO oracles. These vaults boost yields by distributing OEV revenue to depositors during periods of market volatility.
Yearn's OG @MorphoLabs Vaults continue to outperform:
