Aave and Chainlink are partnering to improve decentralized finance by integrating Chainlink's Smart Value Recapture oracles into Aave's v3 platform.

This collaboration aims to optimize the recapture of miner extractable value (MEV) from liquidations, potentially recovering over 40% of leaked MEV, which could be worth millions of dollars.

Additionally, there are reports of BlackRock's interest in collaborating with Chainlink, which could enhance the platform's credibility and attract institutional investment.

Chainlink is increasingly recognized as a critical infrastructure component for on-chain finance, establishing itself as a key player in the evolving financial ecosystem.
