Get your money out first.
A failing vault only pays whoever gets out first. When liquidity briefly returns, one block decides who is paid in full and who stays trapped, and a bot usually wins it. Sooner's MEV infrastructure wins it for you instead.
Supported protocols
Live on Altura and Morpho. Open to more.
Sooner runs a priority redemption queue on top of a failing vault: sign one order and you are redeemed first the instant it can pay. Both queues are live on HyperEVM, and we add new protocols on request.
AVLT redeems for USD₮0at the vault's own price. The priority redemption queue is open.
Alpha USDT Prime redeems for USD₮0at the vault's own price. The priority redemption queue is open.
Send us the position. We build the integration and open a redemption queue for it.
In a failing vault, someone loses everything. Usually the slowest.
Illiquid or insolvent, the result is the same: the vault cannot cover withdrawals, so getting out becomes a race that clears in one block. You lose in three stages.
The queue never clears
The vault can only pay out the liquidity it actually holds. When it is failing, that number sits near zero, and your request just waits.
Liquidity returns in bursts
A repayment or fresh deposit briefly restores withdrawable funds. That window is usually one block, then it is gone.
Faster actors take it
Searchers and quicker depositors claim it the instant it lands. You refresh the page and you are still holding a frozen position.
If liquidity ever touches the vault, you withdraw first.
SeaFi’s MEV infrastructure competes at the mempool and block-builder level, landing your withdrawal ahead of every rival in the same block liquidity appears.
How a Sooner redemption works
Four steps, and your funds stay yours until they reach you. Step three either fully succeeds or never happened.
Sign a 1inch order, don't transfer
You sign a standard 1inch limit order: your position for an exact amount, shown before you sign. The only approval is a scoped allowance to 1inch's limit-order protocol, the audited contract behind every major DEX aggregator. Your tokens stay in your wallet until it fills.
We watch the mempool, not the UI
SeaFi's MEV infrastructure tracks the vault's withdrawable liquidity around the clock, down to the mempool. The moment a repayment, liquidation, or deposit restores it, your signed order is already staged.
You withdraw first, atomically
In one transaction, in the same block liquidity lands, we fill your 1inch order ahead of every other user and bot. It pays you the exact amount you signed, and we redeem the position to cover it. All of it settles together, or the whole transaction reverts.
You are paid, we take the fee you set
Recovered assets land in your wallet minus the fee you set, a market-driven priority fee from a 1% minimum. If redemption never becomes possible, you never pay a cent.
The engine behind Sooner has already recovered over $1,000,000 from Euler.
A pilot on insolvent Euler vaults, run on the same MEV infrastructure Sooner is built on.
When lending vaults on Euler seized up, withdrawals stopped clearing and depositors were stranded behind a near-empty queue. Each sliver of returning liquidity cleared in the same block and never reached them.
We claimed those positions the instant they became redeemable, ahead of every other actor. Depositors recovered more than a million dollars of stranded capital, none of them handing over custody. Sooner is that same engine, open to anyone stuck in a vault.
This was a pilot. Past recoveries do not guarantee future results, and every position is assessed on its own merits.
Your keys and your tokens never leave your control.
Recovery services usually ask you to trust them with your funds. Sooner has nothing to trust: you sign a 1inch limit order, filled through 1inch's audited public contract, and we can only fill it at the exact price you signed.
Read how settlement worksNon-custodial by construction
Funds only move inside the atomic redemption transaction. Sooner never holds a balance on your behalf.
Only 1inch touches your tokens
The one approval you sign is a scoped allowance to 1inch's limit-order protocol, covering a single position, not your wallet. You can revoke it any time before execution, without asking us.
Atomic settlement or nothing
Redemption and fee happen together in one transaction. If any part fails, the entire transaction reverts and your position is untouched.
Incentives fully aligned
We are paid only out of what we recover for you. No recovery means no fee. We win exactly when you win.
Don't take any of this on trust. There is one address to check, and it is public:
The only allowance you grant goes to this contract, 1inch's Limit Order Protocol v4. HyperEVM had no 1inch deployment, so we built it from 1inch's public source and deployed it here, with source verified on HyperEVMScan. We own it, but that ownership can only pause new fills: it cannot move your tokens, change your order, alter the payout, or upgrade the code. You can cancel any order yourself, even while it is paused.
A market-driven fee, from 1%. Nothing else.
No upfront fee, no subscription, and if the redemption never lands you owe nothing. You set the fee when you sign: a bigger discount buys higher priority, and it never drops below a 1% minimum. You keep the rest of capital that was stuck at zero access.
- If we recover $100,000
- you keep up to $99,000, at the 1% minimum
- If we recover nothing
- you pay $0
The split happens inside the same transaction as the redemption. No invoice, no follow-up transfer, and no moment where the funds sit anywhere but your wallet or the atomic swap that fills it.
You are never worse off than redeeming yourself. Our fee buys a place at the front of the line, and that only has value when a vault pays back a little at a time. If within five days the vault repays everyone, or you could have redeemed at full value without a discount, then being first won nothing and we refund our full fee to your address.
The infrastructure
The infrastructure that wins the block.
Getting out first is a race decided in one block, against professional searchers. SeaFi has run that race for years, on the same MEV stack that recovered over $1,000,000 from insolvent Euler vaults.
Direct to the builders
We submit through direct relationships with block builders, not the public mempool. Orders arrive where inclusion is decided, and never leak to a front-runner ahead of the fill.
Colocated, measured in milliseconds
Our machines sit next to the sequencers and builders we target, in the regions they run. A read and a send take milliseconds, so we see liquidity return and land in the same block it appears.
Every chain's rules, mapped
We know how each chain orders a block, prices priority, and clears contested liquidity, down to the tricks other searchers use. Base, Optimism, Avalanche and HyperEVM, each handled on its own terms.
Staged, then atomic
Your order is staged before liquidity returns, so nothing waits on us at the decisive moment. The fill and the redeem settle as one transaction, or none of it does.
Questions worth asking.
Do you ever hold my tokens?
No. Your assets stay in your wallet until the redemption executes, moving them straight to you in the same transaction that pays our fee. There is no custody step and no Sooner contract. The only thing you approve is 1inch's limit-order protocol.
What if the vault takes a snapshot?
Your tokens stay in your wallet the whole time, so any snapshot counts them as yours. You hold the position right up to the block the redemption settles in. Nothing is moved, staked, or escrowed while you wait.
What am I actually signing?
A standard 1inch limit order that swaps your vault position for an exact amount of the underlying asset. The amount is fixed inside the signature, and the order never reaches a public order book. It can only settle at the terms you signed.
What happens if you can't recover my position?
You pay nothing. The fee applies to recovered proceeds only. No recovery, no fee, no cost to you.
How is the fee set and taken?
You set it. The fee is market-driven: when you sign, you choose the discount you accept, from a 1% minimum, and a bigger discount buys priority when liquidity is scarce. It comes straight out of the recovered proceeds, inside the same transaction as the redemption, in one settled block. Nothing is invoiced afterwards.
What if I could have just gotten out myself?
Then you owe nothing. Our fee only buys a place at the front of the line, which is worth nothing if getting out was easy anyway. If within five days the vault repays everyone, or you could have redeemed at full value without a discount, we refund our full fee to your address. You are never worse off than redeeming yourself. If you think a refund was due and you did not get it, message us on Telegram and we will make it good.
Why can you withdraw first when I can't?
A failing vault pays first-come, first-served whenever a sliver of liquidity appears. That window is usually one block, contested by other users and professional bots. SeaFi's MEV infrastructure competes at the mempool and block-builder level, which is what it takes to land in front of them.
Who is behind Sooner?
SeaFi, a DeFi studio that builds yield vaults (seafi.app) and the EulerDebt distressed-debt marketplace (eulerdebt.com). Sooner runs on the same MEV infrastructure SeaFi used to recover over $1M from insolvent Euler vaults.
Which protocols and chains do you cover?
We focus on EVM lending and yield vaults, including Euler-style markets, on Ethereum and major L2s. Illiquid or insolvent both count: if the vault can pay anyone at any point, we can get you paid first. Every position is assessed individually, so send us yours and we will tell you if it is redeemable.
Do I have to watch anything or act again?
No. You sign once. From there our bots monitor the vault and execute the instant conditions are met, whether that is in an hour or in three months.
Is there any risk to my funds?
Interacting with any smart contract carries risk, and recovery is never guaranteed. The design minimizes exposure: the only contract you approve is 1inch's limit-order protocol, the allowance is scoped, settlement is atomic, and failure reverts. But it is not, and cannot be, risk-free.
Get out sooner.
Let us know which vault or protocol has an issue. We will do the research and tell you whether we can support it, roughly what it should return, and when. Asking is free, no wallet needed.
