CoW DAO has launched the CoW AMM, the first MEV-capturing automated market maker designed to protect liquidity providers from loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR).​ LVR costs liquidity providers over $500 million annually and is responsible for more price exploitation than all other forms of MEV combined.​ The CoW AMM uses a batch auction model to rebalance liquidity pools based on surplus, capturing arbitrage value for LPs and shielding it from MEV bots.​ Research suggests that the returns for CoW AMM LPs will be equal to or better than those for traditional AMMs.​ Launching the CoW AMM is an extension of CoW DAO's mission to protect Ethereum users from MEV.​

🌊 🌊 🌊 The dirty secret of AMMs is that many of their pools are leaking. In fact, liquidity providers lose 5-7% of their profits to MEV every year, making *most liquidity pools* unprofitable. That's why CoW DAO is building the first MEV-capturing AMM. We call it CoW AMM.
