Chainlink has acquired Atlas, the on-chain order flow infrastructure developed by FastLane, as part of its efforts to expand its Oracle-based maximum extractable value (MEV) recovery protocol, Chainlink SVR.
The agreement includes Atlas intellectual property and core personnel. Existing Atlas users will migrate to SVR, including those from the deprecated RedStone deployment.
The integration brings Atlas’ production-tested liquidation auction technology into Chainlink SVR. DeFi protocols including Compound and Venus already use Atlas.
The SVR protocol targets Oracle Extractable Value (OEV), allowing lending protocols to retrieve MEV from liquidations using Chainlink Price Feeds. The system is now operational on Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum and HyperEVM, with other blockchains to follow.
SVR has recovered over $10 million in OEV from $460 million in liquidations, benefiting from protocols like Aave and Compound while sharing revenue with the Chainlink network.
FastLane cited Chainlink’s scale and security as reasons for entrusting management of Atlas, which Chainlink will continue to develop and deploy on supported chains.
Johann Eid, chief commercial officer of Chainlink Labs, said the move would create “the most efficient value recovery system DeFi has ever had.”
FastLane CEO Alex Watts added that the integration gives DeFi protocols “the most credible path to reclaiming on-chain value at scale.”
Atlas will continue to operate independently under FastLane, but now serves as a strategic partner to Chainlink, accelerating the integration of SVR across protocols and ecosystems.
