Chainlink has announced the acquisition of Atlas by FastLane, integrating Atlas’s execution-optimized order-flow auctions into the Chainlink SVR framework. Atlas is an EVM-compatible modular protocol built for execution abstraction to enable optimized transaction execution through decentralized auctions. As part of the deal, key Atlas personnel are joining Chainlink from FastLane, bringing a market-tested order-flow and value-recapture solution under the Chainlink standard.
Atlas enables DeFi protocols like Compound and Venus to recapture value by powering application-specific order-flow auctions, such as those for liquidations. The modular protocol’s production-proven order-flow technology has already been integrated into Chainlink SVR, with SVR expansion planned to new blockchains including Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and HyperEVM.
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said Atlas’s integration strengthens the value-recapture system and accelerates SVR adoption across ecosystems. Alex Watts, CEO of FastLane, said bringing Atlas to Chainlink creates a credible path for DeFi protocols to recapture value on-chain at scale. Atlas will now exclusively support Chainlink SVR, with a streamlined migration path for existing Atlas users. Users from the deprecated Atlas RedStone deployment will migrate to the expanded ecosystem.
