Chainlink SVR Goes Live On Aave V4
Aave V4 integrates Chainlink Smart Value Recapture on its Ethereum Core market to reclaim liquidation-related MEV.
Aave has integrated Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) into its V4 Ethereum Core market. Chainlink SVR is a specialized oracle solution that enables DeFi protocols to reclaim non-toxic Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) generated through Chainlink Price Feeds. The integration allows Aave to recapture liquidation-related MEV that was previously extracted by block builders.
Developed in collaboration with BGD Labs, Flashbots, and other Aave DAO contributors, Chainlink SVR leverages Chainlink Price Feeds and Flashbots' MEV-Share to redirect value back to DeFi protocols. Chainlink SVR on Aave V3 has already generated $11 million for the Aave DAO treasury since March 2025.

Optimism Pilots Stake-Based Transaction Ordering
The mechanism allows users to stake OP tokens in a smart contract to give a chosen address priority in transaction ordering.
Optimism proposed piloting an experimental stake-based transaction ordering system on its network. The mechanism allows users to stake OP tokens in a smart contract to give a chosen address priority in transaction ordering. The pilot will test how the model affects user behavior, especially among bots and market makers.
The proposed ordering mechanism aims to create new utility, increase demand for OP tokens, and improve network efficiency. During the experiment, priority will depend on the amount and duration of OP staked. The system is currently live on the OP Sepolia testnet and will run for up to four weeks on mainnet. After the pilot, OP Mainnet will revert to the standard priority gas auction (PGA) system.
