CoW DAO Launches MEV-Capturing AMM to Protect Liquidity Providers
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.

sharing my thoughts on the CoW AMM - a novel mev-capturing AMM 💠@CoWSwap just announced just announced their new AMM x.com/cowswap/status… CoWSwap continues to be one of the most underrated projects in crypto in my opinion, accruing nearly $35B in trading volume from over
🌊 🌊 🌊 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.
🌟 🌟 @CoWSwap just announced the first ever MEV-capturing AMM! Finally, there could be 1 AMM protecting LPs’ interest against MEV. 1 year ago I wrote a 🧵 of when it makes economic sense to be LPs for AMMs, and introduced LVR - the largest loss of LPs on AMMs that costs LPs
