Understanding Oracle Extractable Value (OEV)

Thu 3rd Oct 2024
Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) is a type of MEV related to oracle updates. It arises from price updates triggering liquidation bonuses on lending protocols, causing some updates to be more valuable than others. Annually, lending protocols across chains lose millions to OEV. @OEVNetwork proposes a Layer 2 solution to recapture OEV: - Eliminates most lost OEV - Maintains user experience - Preserves data feed security - Returns captured OEV to dApps This solution integrates with API3's data feeds, allowing dApps to recapture lost value. It optimizes liquidations and improves protocol performance while maintaining security. OEV-aware oracles represent an evolution in oracle architecture, potentially fostering innovation and new business models in the lending protocol space.
