When market prices shift significantly, DeFi protocols relying on oracles often need updated price data to trigger liquidations, rebalance positions, or execute other price-sensitive operations. As an oracle provider or the first to deliver these critical price updates, there is **inherent value** in the timing and ordering of this information. This value can be captured through mechanisms like priority liquidation rights or auction-based update delivery. Blink Labs enables oracle providers to **monetize OEV** across both **pull-based oracles** (where dApps and protocols request updates on-demand) and **push-based oracles** (where updates are automatically broadcast at intervals). By implementing our OEV-capture infrastructure, oracle providers can generate additional revenue streams beyond standard data feed subscriptions. This creates a sustainable economic model where the value created by timely, accurate oracle updates is fairly distributed rather than lost to MEV extractors or left on the table, ultimately strengthening your business model and creating a more equitable playing field for liquidators and other on-chain actors.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.blinklabs.xyz/blink/get-started/integration/oracles.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
