CoW Protocol Partners with Infinex to Enhance Trading Experience

**CoW Swap is now live on BNB Chain**, bringing MEV-protected trading to one of crypto's fastest networks. **Key features for BNB users:** - **Gasless trading by default** - no need to hold BNB for transaction fees - **MEV protection** through off-chain batching that shields trades from frontrunning bots - **Advanced order types** including market, limit, TWAP, and programmable orders - **Better pricing** via solver competition across PancakeSwap and other BNB DEXs **How it works:** Solvers compete to find the best routes and pay gas fees for users. Trades are batched off-chain before execution, preventing MEV extraction that typically costs traders on other platforms. The expansion addresses common BNB Chain pain points: needing native tokens for gas, limited order types, and MEV bot interference.
