CoW DAO Focuses on Mitigating Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) Attacks
🔒 MEV Mitigation Solutions
CoW DAO is an organization that builds products to protect users from Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks, a form of price exploitation enabled by re-ordering transactions in a block. MEV costs traders millions in losses from slippage exploitation, liquidity provider losses, and frontrunning of NFT mints. CoW DAO's suite of products includes CoW Swap to prevent MEV for DeFi trades, CoW AMM to protect liquidity providers, and MEV Blocker to shield all Ethereum users. The DAO advocates for MEV searchers, who currently facilitate MEV, to become CoW Protocol solvers instead, using their capabilities to benefit users rather than exploit them.
Searchers are the nasty culprits of MEV, but it turns out that under the hood they're quite similar to solvers... 🤖 Solvers power CoW Protocol, finding the best prices and protecting users from MEV. Maybe searchers should become solvers? 💡 blog.cow.fi/mev-bots-switc… 👈
