Pyth Network launches “Express Relay” to address problem of MEV
The post Pyth Network launches “Express Relay” to address problem of MEV appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Pyth Network, an oracle network for real-time market data, has introduced Express Relay to provide a solution to the problem of Miner Extractable Value (MEV). The launch of Express Relay on mainnet brings priority auctions to the ecosystem, allowing for a more self-sovereign decentralized finance (DeFi) market. As a solution to MEV, the new product removes the extractive role from miners and helps in the faster rollout of new protocols. Meanwhile, it will aggregate valuable opportunities across DeFi for searchers, Pyth announced on Thursday. It’s time to take back control and eliminate MEV. Introducing: Express Relay—priority auctions for a more self-sovereign DeFi 🔮 Remove the extractive role of miners, roll out protocols faster, and instantly access a network of top searchers.

This scenario means that DeFi protocols and users suffer costs and inefficiencies. Express Relay addresses these issues by boosting innovation across the DeFi landscape through the direct connection of DeFi protocols and networks of established searchers. This introduces the aspect of priority auction, where searchers compete for priority operations like liquidations. Protocols can benefit from priority auctions by spending more on key operations, including setting liquidation rewards. The efficiency that comes with this will also mean protocols are able to pass cost savings to stakeholders. The Express Relay stack consists of on-chain smart contracts as well as a secure off-chain auction system. With this, the solution allows for interactions between DeFi protocols, searchers, relayers, and the Pyth DAO. Which protocols have integrated Express Relay? Pyth Network has launched the Express Relay on its mainnet following a recent Pyth DAO vote. The…
