HIGH RISK FOR VENUS - OEV has centralized liquidations under chainlink only

Hey everyone,

Been running a liquidation bot on Venus for a while now and wanted to raise a serious safety issue.

Since the SVR/OEV integration went live, I’ve been trying to figure out how to participate as an external solver. Spent days going through docs, discord, github… basically nothing is up to date. The FastLane relay repo is archived, the solver documentation doesn’t exist for BSC, and the Chainlink SVR searcher guide only covers Ethereum via Flashbots MEV-Share which doesn’t even run on BSC.

As far as I can tell, Chainlink is the only entity currently able to submit OEV bundles on BSC. Every other liquidator is either already shut off or completely locked out of the OEV flow.

I get that OEV is good for the protocol in theory. But having a single liquidator with exclusive access is dangerous. We’ve seen this with other protocols when the one entity responsible for liquidations has an outage, technical issue, or just decides a position isn’t worth the gas, bad debt happens. Competition between liquidators is what makes the system robust. And now there isn’t any.

Can the team or anyone from Chainlink share:

  1. Is there a public relay endpoint for external solvers on BSC?
  2. Is there documentation for how to submit OEV bundles as a third-party?
  3. If external solvers aren’t supported yet, when will they be?
