CoW AMM Launches 80/20 Pools with Enhanced LVR Protection
🐮 New Pools Just Dropped
CoW AMM has introduced 80/20 pools, expanding its Loss Versus Rebalancing (LVR) protection features. The new pools offer:
- Asymmetric upside potential for token exposure
- Reduced impermanent loss compared to traditional pools
- Enhanced hedging capabilities
Recent data shows the effectiveness of CoW AMM's LVR protection, with pools achieving significantly better returns than traditional AMMs. For example, a recent $COW/$wstETH pool transaction delivered 15.18% surplus to LPs - over 50x better than Uniswap V2's standard 0.3% fee.
Available now on mainnet, Gnosis Chain, and Arbitrum.
