QED, Aims To Lead The Next Generation Oracle Products For DeFi With Its Robus...
Oracles, according to Cryptopedia, are protocols for smart contracts in the blockchain industry to interact with external data. Smart contracts are essentially computer programs that run within a blockchain and automate a set of transactions when certain conditions are met. Thus, smart contracts contribute to the complete decentralization of the blockchain industry by allowing transactions to take place automatically and without the intervention of a third party.

OEV-enabled oracles auction off the right to extract on-chain value to the same third-party searchers who used to bid for the blockspace.

It is the maximum value a miner can extract from moving-around transactions when producing a block on a blockchain network.MEV can be defined as the maximum value that can be extracted from block production in excess of the standard block reward and gas fees. The MEV comprises arbitrage and liquidation....
