CoW Swap Launches on Linea L2 and Deepens Aave Integration
🐄 CoW Conquers Linea
CoW Swap is now live on Linea, Ethereum's L2 network, bringing gasless trading and advanced order types to the platform.
Key features on Linea:
- Gasless swaps by default - no ETH needed for gas
- Limit and TWAP orders
- Swap & Send functionality
- Upcoming Swap & Bridge feature
How it works: CoW Protocol's solver network competes to find the best prices across DEXs while protecting users from MEV attacks.
Expanded Aave integration also launched, powering more DeFi operations:
- Collateral swaps
- Repay-with-collateral transactions
- Debt swapping
All operations are gas-optimized and MEV-protected. The integration uses intent-based transactions - users specify what they want, and solvers find the optimal execution path.
Benefits include:
- Solver-routed execution for better prices
- Shared liquidity across $10B+ monthly volume
- Simplified user experience with fewer approvals
