RedStone announced the release of its new oracle, touting it as the “first oracle with native liquidation intelligence.” This innovation aims to enhance decentralized finance by providing more efficient and informed liquidation processes.
RedStone, a major oracle network, has introduced its Atom oracle, which enables real-time liquidations and automated native MEV (Miner Extractable Value) capture for DeFi lending protocols.
RedStone Atom is “the first oracle with native liquidation intelligence,” as the press release shared with Cryptonews stated.
Validators or block builders typically compete to eliminate users during Oracle delays, thereby obtaining MEV. The announcement emphasizes that the liquidation of MEV has resulted in a loss of over $500 million for DeFi protocols.
Atom captures “value at the source, within the oracle layer.” Consequently, it transmits the recaptured MEV directly to the protocol, which can be utilized to calculate interest rates/fees, enhance yield, or further sustainability and incentives.
The new product enables Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) capture, zero-latency liquidations, and immediate onchain price adjustments. According to the team, this enhances the efficacy of lending and does not necessitate modifications to the current protocol code.
Furthermore, it asserts that the system’s performance, capital efficiency, and sustainability are enhanced by the direct integration of MEV capture into the oracle layer.
Additionally, Atom is currently securing all lending protocols on Unichain and is prepared for use on BNB Chain, Base, HyperEVM, and Berachain.
Atom is powered by Atlas, an application-specific sequencer developed by FastLane Labs. According to the press release, this facilitates the auction of atomic MEVs. It elucidates that “an ultra-fast auction (
The liquidation will be executed by one of the competing suitors. The price update settles the offer onchain. According to RedStone, it is compatible with all EVM chains, necessitates no off-chain components or centralized actors, and can be activated immediately.
RedStone: ‘Whoever Liquidates First Wins’
The press release emphasizes the disadvantages of conventional “push” oracles in DeFi lending. These prices are updated at specific intervals and events, which results in delays during market volatility.
RedStone contends that this circumstance results in missed liquidation windows and lost revenue, as “whoever liquidates first wins.”
Consequently, Atom enables liquidators to initiate a real-time price update when they identify a liquidation opportunity. The team identified numerous significant advantages of this, primarily the ability to “capture more liquidation opportunities faster than competitors.”
Additionally, improved risk-adjusted returns to users, increased loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and the retention of MEV “that would otherwise leak to third parties” are among the other benefits.
“Co-founder Marcin Kaźmierczak stated that onchain lending is entering a new phase of competition, and protocols require a reliable, yet innovative, infrastructure to remain competitive.”
Atom turns the liquidation model on its head, and he proceeds. Protocols can now determine how the value is distributed through incentives, yield increases, or borrower rewards, rather than third parties profiting from user liquidations.
Meanwhile, RedStone is a blockchain oracle provider that provides cross-chain data feeds to enable DeFi protocols on Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon.
RedStone introduced its native token, RED, on Ethereum in March 2025.
