Adopt an OEV Solution on Mantle (2025 RFP)

This Snapshot is part of the Compound DAO’s 2025 OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) RFP process. Delegates are asked to select whether to adopt an OEV solution for all 10 of the chains that Compound currently resides on, with this vote focusing on MANTLE.

For this Snapshot, delegates are able to vote between:

• Keep Api3 OEV (current setup)
• Adopt Chainlink SVR (phased rollout, chain by chain)

Note that—

• Api3 and Chainlink have applied for Mantle.

• Compound on Mantle currently utilizes Api3’s OEV solution—so the status quo vote for the Mantle Snapshot will be “Keep Api3 OEV” as opposed to “Do NOT adopt OEV”.

• Chainlink SVR is NOT yet live on L2s—they are proposing a phased rollout plan for the DAO to consider. In the coming weeks, SVR will be available on Base, and shortly after, on Arbitrum, too. Other L2s like Mantle will have SVR rollout over time. We are enabling the DAO to wait for Chainlink to roll out their OEV solution on alternative chains as a potential voting option. Once Chainlink launches on these L2s, they will update the DAO accordingly, and their solution will undergo an additional review, just like the above OZ analyses. Incorporation of Chainlink SVR on L2s will require another Snapshot vote.

This Snapshot vote will be considered valid as long as quorum (the total number of votes submitted) reaches the on-chain threshold of 400k COMP. If quorum is reached, then the winner will be determined by a simple majority. In the event that quorum is not reached for the vote, Api3 OEV will remain in place, defaulting to the existing status quo.

“Weighted Voting” is utilized, where each delegate has the ability to spread their voting power across any number of choices. This voting system allows delegates to select between multiple options—or simply allocate their entire voting power to a single vendor.

We ask delegates to carefully consider all of the votable OEV solutions, from both an implementation/security perspective, as well as with a financial viewpoint. Each RFP response comprehensively lays out all of these variables.
