CoW Protocol has introduced Atomic Bundles, a reusable smart contract template enabling developers to execute complex, multi-step DeFi operations atomically in a single settlement.​

Key capabilities include:

  • Loop-borrow-redeposit strategies
  • Repay debt with collateral
  • Flashloan-enabled executions
  • Atomic open/close flows for perpetuals
  • Multi-step payment and treasury operations

All executions maintain CoW Protocol's core features: solver competition, MEV protection, and surplus generation.​

For builders, Atomic Bundles simplify development across lending (one-click looping, collateral swaps), perpetuals (atomic open/close flows), and payments (multi-step flows with zero mid-execution risk).​

Previously, developers needed to write custom wrapper contracts from scratch for each use case.​ Now they can fork the template, add their logic, and plug into CoW Protocol's solver network.​
