CoW DAO Implements Protocol Fee Collection and Buyback Program
š® Moo-ving Towards Buybacks
The CoW DAO has implemented CIP-38, which requires the protocol to collect fees from solvers in the form of $COW tokens, effectively creating an ongoing buyback program. Two Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) orders have been initiated, one on Ethereum for 141 ETH and another on Gnosis Chain for 70 ETH, to convert and send the collected fees to a DAO-owned address. Additional TWAPs will be created as new fees are collected. Last week, the protocol collected 88 ETH in fees following the implementation of CIP-34.
CIP-38 requires that CoW DAO collect protocol fees from solvers in the form of $COW tokens ā effectively creating an ongoing buyback program. snapshot.org/#/cow.eth/propā¦
