RedStone has launched Atom, a groundbreaking oracle solution designed to transform DeFi lending protocols by enabling real-time liquidations and native MEV (Miner Extractable Value) capture. Traditional 'push' oracles update prices at fixed intervals, causing delays that allow MEV bots and validators to extract an estimated $500 million in value during liquidation events. Atom flips this model by activating on-demand price updates only when loans fall below collateral thresholds, eliminating oracle lag.
The system integrates atomic MEV auctions, completed within 300 milliseconds, where liquidators bid for liquidation rights. Winning bids directly compensate protocols instead of leaking to third parties. This recaptured value can be reinvested into yield boosts, lower borrowing fees, or sustainability initiatives. According to RedStone co-founder Marcin Kaźmierczak, Atom allows protocols to 'decide how that value is shared,' fundamentally shifting DeFi economics.
Already live on Unichain, Atom requires no smart contract modifications and will expand to BNB Chain, Base, HyperEVM, and Berachain. The solution promises higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, improved capital efficiency, and competitive advantages for lending markets.
