Aave adopts Chainlink SVR
Aave has adopted Chainlink's SVR technology on Base and Arbitrum and expanded its prior Ethereum deployment — the protocol reports it has recaptured $16.7M+ in MEV to date. That integration targets more efficient liquidations and tighter price feeds across its multi‑L2 footprint. (x.com/BSCNews)
The ARFC thread that requested multi‑network SVR activation was posted to Aave’s governance forum on March 6, 2026 by contributor bgdlabs, outlining expansion to Aave v3 networks. (governance.aave.com) SVR revenue will follow a pre-agreed split with an initial discounted arrangement that allocates 65% to the Aave ecosystem and 35% to the Chainlink ecosystem over the first six months, with Chainlink planning to convert its share into LINK for distribution to its node operators. (prnewswire.com) Chainlink’s SVR pairs its price‑feed updates with liquidation transactions via Flashbots/MEV‑Share, enabling searchers to bundle a liquidation call with the new oracle update as part of a structured auction process. (docs.chain.link) Chainlink’s published testing projects an approximate 40% recapture rate for non‑toxic liquidation MEV, and protocol reporting on Ethereum showed a high share of liquidation volume processed through SVR during stress events. (chainlinktoday.com) Operational metrics disclosed by third‑party coverage indicate Aave processed roughly $675 million across about 3,900 liquidations in the SVR‑enabled window used for measurement, and internal analysis cited a strong non‑toxic MEV recapture percentage in that sample. (outposts.io) The initial Ethereum activation covered specific markets including tBTC, LBTC, AAVE and LINK, and prior DAO discussion noted SVR’s market coverage on Ethereum rising from approximately 3% toward a target near 27% of protocol TVL as phases rolled out. (governance.aave.com) Chainlink’s SVR documentation also references integration with its Payment Abstraction system to streamline billing for SVR services and provides formal searcher‑onboarding guidance for protocols and builders participating in the SVR auction flow.
