Chainlink recently launched Smart Value Recapture (SVR), an innovative oracle solution for decentralized finance (DeFi).

SVR: Addressing Value Loss in DeFi

SVR aims to address the issue of value loss during liquidations in DeFi by allowing protocols to reclaim a portion of the lost value.

This solution utilizes flashbots MEV-share for auctions and incorporates a fallback mechanism for safety.

Minimal Adjustments for Existing Protocols

The implementation of SVR requires minimal adjustments for protocols already using Chainlink oracles, making it an attractive option for existing DeFi applications.

Partnership with Aave

In a partnership with Aave, Chainlink has tailored the SVR system to offer an enhanced value capture model, with a 65% to DeFi protocols and 35% to Chainlink split for the first six months.

Positive Market Impact

The announcement of SVR had a positive impact on the market, with Chainlink's LINK token experiencing a surge of approximately 9% and Aave's token increasing by over 15%.

Reshaping the DeFi Landscape

The introduction of SVR is expected to reshape the DeFi landscape by addressing the issue of value extraction during liquidations, enhancing the economic viability of DeFi applications, and fostering a more equitable distribution of value within the ecosystem.

Encouraging Adoption and Collaboration

This development could encourage more protocols to adopt Chainlink oracles, solidifying Chainlink's position as a leading provider of decentralized oracle solutions.

The collaboration between Chainlink and Aave may serve as a catalyst for further advancements in the DeFi sector, leading to a more robust and sustainable financial ecosystem.
