Chainlink Acquires Atlas to Expand SVR and DeFi Revenue Push
- Chainlink has acquired Atlas to expand SVR and raise DeFi revenue via multi-chain recapture.
- Atlas integration extends Chainlink SVR to new chains, helping protocols reclaim MEV.
- The deal accelerates SVR adoption across ecosystems and adds sustainable revenue for DeFi.
Chainlink has acquired Atlas from FastLane to expand its SVR solution and increase revenue opportunities across decentralized finance ecosystems. The move brings proven order flow technology directly under the Chainlink standard. It also marks a step toward scaling value recapture across multiple blockchains.
The acquisition includes Atlas technology and the onboarding of key Atlas personnel into Chainlink’s ecosystem. As a result, Atlas now exclusively supports Chainlink SVR. Existing Atlas users will follow a streamlined migration path to the Chainlink solution.
Chainlink said the integration expands SVR into new blockchain environments. SVR now operates on Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and HyperEVM. Additional networks are expected to follow over time.
Atlas Strengthens SVR’s Multi-Chain Reach
Atlas, developed by FastLane, allows DeFi protocols to recover value via application-specific order flow auctions. These auctions often support liquidation processes. Protocols such as Compound and Venus already use Atlas technology.
Chainlink has now completely incorporated this system into SVR. The integration allows DeFi applications to recapture value from Chainlink Price Feeds. This value stems from the Maximal Extractable Value tied to oracle updates.
Chainlink SVR focuses on Oracle Extractable Value, also known as OEV. The system redirects value back to protocols instead of external actors. This creates a new revenue stream for participating applications.
According to Chainlink, SVR has already processed more than $460 million in liquidations. It has also recaptured over $10 million in OEV. These figures reflect adoption by major DeFi platforms.
Aave and Compound rank among the early adopters of SVR. The protocols use the system to improve economic efficiency during liquidations. The recaptured value supports both protocols and the Chainlink Network.
The revenue split model shares value between DeFi protocols and Chainlink. This structure aims to improve long-term sustainability. Chainlink said the Atlas acquisition accelerates this model across more chains.
FastLane Partnership And Ecosystem Impact
FastLane partnered with Chainlink to place Atlas under Chainlink’s stewardship. The firm cited Chainlink’s security and reliability record. Chainlink has enabled over $27 trillion in transaction value to date.
The network also secures more than 70% of the DeFi ecosystem. This scale influenced FastLane’s decision to migrate Atlas fully. Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure supports the system’s expansion.
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, commented on the acquisition. He said the integration creates a more effective value recapture system. He added that the move helps expand SVR into new ecosystems faster.

FastLane CEO Alex Watts echoed the view. He said the combination offers DeFi protocols a credible path to recapture on-chain value at scale. He noted that Chainlink is positioned to lead the OEV market.
Despite the acquisition, FastLane will continue operating independently. The company will remain a strategic partner to Chainlink. It will support Atlas operations and broader adoption efforts.
Existing Atlas users can transition to SVR using Chainlink documentation. Chainlink Labs will also provide upgrade support. This includes users migrating from the deprecated Atlas RedStone deployment. On the Ethereum mainnet, SVR will continue using Flashbots MEV-Share. Atlas technology enables SVR expansion beyond Ethereum.
This approach supports deployment across diverse blockchain environments. Chainlink said the acquisition strengthens its role in DeFi infrastructure. By expanding SVR, the network aims to unlock sustainable revenue for the wider DeFi economy.
