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.
Bridges? Pain. Gas tokens? Juggle. Slippage? Ouch. Try seamless Cross-Chain swaps instead ๐ฎโจ โ Trade across chains, gasless by default. โ Best route, best price. โ MEV protection baked in. Cross-chain finally feels like swapping on one chain. cow.fi/learn/cow-dao-โฆ
Bridge and swap, sounds simple right? ๐ค But the reality can be a little more tricky. ๐ตโ๐ซ In this week's guide, we help you navigate moving assets cross-chain, and how to do it safely and securely. ๐ cow.fi/learn/crypto-bโฆ
