Warlock

An introduction to Warlock, disrupting and disintermediating the MEV landscape.

The precision and reliability of market data serves as the bedrock upon which the safety, capital efficiency, and profitability of protocols rest.

Warlock is a state-of-the-art omni-chain oracle and integrated liquidation engine designed to augment the safety and profitability of DeFi protocols by recapturing oracle extractable value (OEV). The overwhelming majority of the value created within DeFi protocols, through mechanisms such as liquidations triggered by oracle price updates, is presently captured by block builders, validators, and searchers, which represents a substantial opportunity for redistribution back to the protocols and their users.

Warlock, through its innovative architecture, systematically dis-intermediates this, ensuring that the value generated within the DeFi ecosystem is equitably distributed amongst all stakeholders. By integrating the functionalities of an oracle and a liquidation engine, Warlock not only enhances the efficiency of liquidations, thereby increasing the capital efficiency of integrated protocols, but also ensures that the recaptured OEV is redistributed to protocols, users, and other stakeholders, thereby bolstering the overall health and efficiency of the DeFi ecosystem. Additionally, Warlock uses this value recapture in concert with other novel innovations like just-in-time (JIT) oracle updates to make market data a revenue generator rather than a cost center.

For protocol integrators, particularly those developing protocols which generate significant order flow with downstream value ripe for recapture, Warlock offers compelling value. By integrating with Warlock, protocols stand to not only enhance their safety and efficiency but also unlock new avenues for value capture and redistribution. This, in turn, leads to enhanced user retention, greater protocol engagement, and an overall increase in the protocol's value proposition.

In essence, Warlock is not merely an oracle or a liquidation engine; it is a comprehensive solution designed to enhance the DeFi ecosystem's efficiency and profitability as it relates to oracles and downstream effects of that data.
