TL;DR
- RedStone has launched Atom, the first oracle designed with native liquidation intelligence and built-in MEV capture for decentralized lending.
- Atom redirects liquidation value back to protocols instead of third parties, enhancing yield and reducing fees.
- Backed by FastLane Labs’ Atlas, Atom already secures Unichain and is compatible with BNB Chain, Base, HyperEVM, and Berachain, with full cross-chain support for EVM environments.
Atom marks a leap forward for oracle infrastructure in decentralized finance by tackling a critical inefficiency that has drained over $500 million from lending protocols through traditional liquidation MEV. Instead of external validators seizing the opportunity during oracle lags, Atom embeds Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) capture directly within its design. This means every time a liquidation occurs, the value stays within the protocol to fund user rewards, better rates, and sustainable incentives.
RedStone’s modular oracle connects hundreds of chains, rollups, and decentralized applications. Atom works without demanding protocol code changes, which means teams can activate it instantly across EVM chains. With Atlas, an application-specific sequencer by FastLane Labs, Atom runs atomic auctions where bidders compete to execute liquidations instantly and on-chain, eliminating the need for off-chain or centralized players. This ensures that every participant in the ecosystem benefits from fair access and transparency, reinforcing trust in decentralized infrastructure while maximizing the capital efficiency of the underlying assets.
Real-Time Liquidations Strengthen Lending
Traditional oracles often delay price updates, forcing DeFi lending platforms to use strict risk parameters and conservative Loan-to-Value ratios. During volatile markets, this lag exposes protocols to missed liquidation windows, unclaimed revenue, and reduced efficiency. Atom’s design flips this by letting liquidators trigger immediate price updates exactly when they spot liquidation opportunities. The result is more liquidations secured faster, fewer losses, and increased capital efficiency for lending pools.
Native MEV Capture Adds New Yield Layer
The innovative MEV mechanism makes Atom more than just an oracle, it’s a built-in revenue channel. By holding the liquidation value inside the oracle, protocols regain what would normally leak to validators and block builders. Instead of losing this income, lenders can recycle it into yield boosts, better borrower rewards, or lower interest fees.
Since launching its RED token in March 2025, RedStone has strengthened its position among major oracle providers like Chainlink and Pyth, feeding reliable cross-chain data to Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon. Atom’s rollout signals RedStone’s commitment to practical solutions that keep value circulating within DeFi ecosystems and push decentralized lending toward stronger, fairer, and more resilient economic frameworks for the future.
