CoW Protocol has released its **Token Transparency disclosure report** in partnership with Blockworks, marking a shift toward verifiable information over traditional press releases. The filing provides detailed information about: - COW token utility and use cases - Governance structure and mechanisms - Token distribution and economics This disclosure represents part of a broader industry movement toward standardized token transparency, allowing investors and users to independently verify claims rather than relying solely on promotional materials. The full filing is available on the [Blockworks Token Transparency platform](https://blockworks.com/token-transparency/filing/cow-protocol).

CoW Protocol has introduced **Atomic Bundles**, a reusable smart contract template enabling developers to execute complex, multi-step DeFi operations atomically in a single settlement. **Key capabilities include:** - Loop-borrow-redeposit strategies - Repay debt with collateral - Flashloan-enabled executions - Atomic open/close flows for perpetuals - Multi-step payment and treasury operations All executions maintain CoW Protocol's core features: solver competition, MEV protection, and surplus generation. **For builders**, Atomic Bundles simplify development across lending (one-click looping, collateral swaps), perpetuals (atomic open/close flows), and payments (multi-step flows with zero mid-execution risk). Previously, developers needed to write custom wrapper contracts from scratch for each use case. Now they can fork the template, add their logic, and plug into CoW Protocol's solver network.
