Adopt an OEV Solution on Ethereum Mainnet (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 ETHEREUM MAINNET.

For this Snapshot, delegates are able to vote between Api3 and Chainlink SVR—or maintain the status quo by voting "Do NOT adopt OEV."

Note that—

• RedStone did NOT apply for the Ethereum markets. The Api3 and Chainlink SVR solutions are ready to be adopted on mainnet if opted in by the DAO.
• Chainlink feeds are currently utilized by Compound on Ethereum Mainnet.

To make an informed decision, please visit THIS forum post with references to each individual RFP application and corresponding reviews conducted by OpenZeppelin.

This Snapshot vote will be considered valid as long as quorum (the total number of votes submitted, excluding the AGAINST votes, denoted as “Do NOT adopt OEV”) 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, the chain in question will not adopt any of the OEV options, 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.
