Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) has become an increasingly important topic in the DeFi ecosystem due to the potential negative effects it may have on dApps and users. But what is MEV❓ Here's a short thread to understand the basics: 🧵⬇️
2/ Simple definition: MEV refers to the maximum amount of value that can be captured by bots 🤖 — also known as “searchers” — through their ability to identify and exploit opportunities which arise from the ordering, inclusion, or exclusion of transactions within a block.

Lending protocols are bleeding MILLIONS monthly to MEV. 🩸 In March alone, @VenusProtocol leaked over $3.5M in oracle extractable value. @OEVNetwork will give protocols like Venus the power to recapture up to 90% of that value. It's SOON time to upgrade your oracle.
The pufETH/stETH Exchange Rate is now available on the API3 Market. $pufETH is the LRT on @puffer_finance, serving as the yield-generating token that mirrors the yield of wstETH. Start using this new data feed to build onchain products across 17 blockchains today. 🛠️
API3 has been pointing dAPIs with NO ACTIVE subscriptions to self-funded Nodary feeds.
This will change on March 31. 🗓️
If you're utilizing a DapiProxy contract, please read on, as these changes may impact you.
Is my dApp impacted by this❓
1. Check your dAPI subscription. Visit http://market.api3.org, find the dAPI(s) you read through DapiProxy, and select your chain.
If your dAPI displays a "Self-funded" label, you must take action.
(Note: LST and LRT feeds will automatically be converted to managed and no change is needed) How can I resolve this❓
1. Buy a subscription for that data feed and continue renewing it for the duration of your usage. 2. Continue reading the same self-funded Nodary feed, but through a DataFeedProxy contract, as instructed by http://nodary.io/feeds.
Reminder of Best Practices:
❌ Do not read data feeds directly from the Api3ServerV1 contract. ✅ Read from the appropriate proxy contract. ✅ Implement a mechanism to be able to switch the proxy contract that you read a data feed from as necessary. ❌ Do not trust anyone to renew your subscriptions or fund your self-funded feeds on your behalf.
We are thrilled to announce that @pac_finance is using the API3 oracle stack to power their lending protocol on @Blast_L2. 💥
By using our decentralized data feeds, Pac benefits from having a built-in MEV solution with the @OEVNetwork to recapture protocol MEV for optimal protocol performance.
Explore the future of onchain lending with Pac Finance on Blast.
Pac Finance is the first self-paying lending & margin trading protocol built on Blast, featuring:
We are excited to unveil that @Juice_Finance is using dAPIs to power their permissionless lending protocol on @Blast_L2. 💥
JUICE Finance empowers users with composable leverage, enabling them to maximize their yield & point farming activities within the Blast ecosystem.
By using dAPIs, Juice benefits from having a built-in MEV solution with the @OEVNetwork to recapture protocol MEV for optimal protocol performance.
JUICE is a permissionless lending protocol that allows users to access up to 3x leverage on their collateral to use in the most well vetted & popular dApps on Blast.
That means: ✅ More Yield ✅ More Points ✅ More Airdrops ✅ More Rewards
JUICE aims to be the premier destination for users to optimize their yield and point farming on Blast.
Start lending or trading to earn Juice, Thruster, and Blast points. 🧃
The @0xMantle ecosystem is thriving, reaching over $300M TVL. 🔥
Soon, all protocols using our data feeds will incorporate a built-in MEV solution with @OEVNetwork to start recapturing value.
Here are some of our Ecosystem Partners building on Mantle:

Let's unlock the secrets of how lending protocols work to discover how OEV Network can reclaim tens of millions of dollars lost to MEV each year.
Here's a short thread on everything you need to know about MEV related to liquidations. 🌊🧵
Lending protocols are core money legos for onchain finance, allowing users to earn interest on their assets in a permissionless & decentralized manner.
Liquidations play an important role for maintaining the health of lending dApps by reducing bad debt & the risk of credit loss.
Join us at 11:40am today on the main stage @EthereumDenver.
API3 Strategy Lead @UgurMersin61 will be introducing OEV Network & showing how every dApp on every chain can recapture MEV through specialized OFAs around oracle updates.
With OEV Network, dApps can simply read any data feed & start earning.
