Adopt an OEV Solution on Base (2025 RFP)
Voted:
For, to adopt chainlink, While it requires a bit of patience, aligning with Chainlink is the most prudent long-term choice. They are the existing, trusted price feed provider on Base, and their industry-leading security and reliability make waiting for their phased SVR rollout a worthwhile investment in the protocol’s safety.

Adopt an OEV Solution on Polygon (2025 RFP)
Voted:
To not adopt oev, Given that none of the proposed OEV solutions are fully mature, especially on L2s, the most prudent action is to wait. Adding a new layer of complexity introduces unnecessary risk.

Adopt an OEV Solution on Arbitrum (2025 RFP)
Voted:
To not adopt oev, The technology for OEV on Arbitrum is still maturing, with even the most promising solutions not yet fully live or battle-tested here. The right choice is to wait and observe how these systems perform on other chains before introducing a new layer of complexity and potential risk to such a critical market.

Adopt an OEV Solution on Optimism (2025 RFP)
Voted:
To not adopt OEV, Given the immaturity of OEV solutions on L2s, the most prudent choice is to wait and observe their performance elsewhere before introducing new complexity and potential risk to a key market like Optimism.

Voted:
To keep Api3 OEV, The current API3 solution on Mantle is already live, operational, and delivering value. Sticking with a proven system is the most stable and logical choice.

Adopt an OEV Solution on Ronin (2025 RFP)
Voted:
To not adopt OEV, Ronin is a unique ecosystem with a specific focus, and it’s prudent to be cautious about introducing new layers of complexity. The best approach is to let the core lending market on Ronin mature and demonstrate stability before considering a value-extraction mechanism like OEV.

Adopt an OEV Solution on Linea (2025 RFP)
Voted:
To not adopt oev, With Linea’s zkEVM architecture presenting its own unique technical landscape, the immediate priority must be on the stability of the core lending market. Adding a complex OEV layer at this point would introduce unnecessary risk before the base protocol is fully proven in this specific environment.

Security Service Provider RFP
Voted:
For, This is a vote for maximum assurance. Their unparalleled expertise in formal verification and direct history with Compound’s codebase represent the most proven and responsible choice for securing the protocol.
