Chainlink has acquired the intellectual property behind Atlas from FastLane and onboarded key Atlas personnel, bringing a production-tested on-chain order flow and value recapture system under the “Chainlink standard.” The deal is designed to accelerate the multi-chain rollout of Chainlink SVR, an oracle-based solution that helps DeFi protocols reclaim so-called Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) generated around Chainlink Price Feeds.
Under the new arrangement, Atlas will now exclusively support Chainlink SVR and provide a streamlined migration path for existing Atlas users, including users moving off a deprecated Atlas RedStone deployment. Chainlink said integrating Atlas’ order flow auction technology into SVR will expand SVR to additional blockchain ecosystems and increase revenue opportunities for DeFi protocols, particularly around liquidation events in overcollateralized lending markets.
Atlas, developed by FastLane, enables application-specific order flow auctions that allow protocols to recapture value in workflows such as liquidations. Chainlink said Atlas has been integrated into SVR as SVR expands beyond Ethereum and into more environments where liquidations and related MEV dynamics occur.
Chainlink SVR is positioned as a “non-toxic” MEV recapture mechanism focused on backrunning liquidations rather than enabling practices like frontrunning or sandwich attacks. In the announcement, Chainlink said SVR has been adopted by protocols including Aave and Compound, has processed more than $460 million in liquidations, and has recaptured more than $10 million in OEV. The recovered value is shared with integrated protocols as an additional revenue stream, while also supporting the economics of the Chainlink Network through a revenue-share split.
Chainlink said SVR is currently live on Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and HyperEVM, with more chains expected to be added over time. It added that its Ethereum mainnet implementation of SVR continues to use Flashbots MEV-Share, while Atlas helps expand SVR into other ecosystems.
FastLane will continue operating independently and will remain a strategic partner to Chainlink in supporting Atlas operations and broader adoption. Chainlink said existing Atlas users can transition to Chainlink SVR via developer documentation and receive upgrade support from Chainlink Labs.
Chainlink also highlighted its broader footprint in DeFi and capital-markets-linked blockchain infrastructure, saying it has enabled more than $27 trillion in transaction value and secures more than 70% of the DeFi ecosystem.
KEY QUOTES:
“I’m thrilled to welcome Atlas into the Chainlink standard. Uniting Atlas’s proven order flow auction technology with Chainlink SVR creates the most effective value recapture system DeFi has ever had, increasing revenue for DeFi through SVR expansion to new ecosystems. We’re excited to deepen our collaboration with FastLane to bring SVR to more protocols, faster.”
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs
“Bringing Atlas together with Chainlink creates the most credible path for DeFi protocols to recapture value onchain at scale. Chainlink is best positioned to lead the OEV market and advance Atlas through its industry-leading SVR product. We’re excited to see Atlas thrive within the Chainlink ecosystem and to help protocols onboard to SVR with confidence.”
Alex Watts, CEO, FastLane
