Aave proposes Chainlink integration to capture MEV profits, aiming to redistribute them to users and enhance fairness in DeFi.
Context
Aave , a prominent decentralised finance (DeFi) platform, has proposed integrating Chainlink’s newly launched Smart Value Recapture (SVR) service. The move aims to recover profits generated from maximum extractable value (MEV) during transaction backrunning and return them to the protocol’s users. The proposal, shared in Aave’s governance forum, highlights how this integration could address the growing concerns around MEV exploitation.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
On 23 December, Chainlink introduced SVR, a specialised oracle designed to auction the rights to backrun its price-feed updates. By participating in an MEV-Share auction, Aave could recover up to 40% of MEV profits generated from liquidations. These recovered funds would be directed to Aave’s decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO), ultimately benefiting the user base. MEV is often criticised for enabling blockbuilders to extract undue profits by reordering transactions, leaving protocols and users with disproportionately smaller benefits.
