CoW Swap Offers Surplus-Capturing Limit Orders
💰 Profit Boost on CoW Swap
CoW Swap, a decentralized exchange protocol, has implemented a unique feature called surplus-capturing limit orders. When a price spike occurs, CoW Swap provides users with the more favorable rate, unlike other exchanges that would fill the order at the limit price. A recent example showcased a user who was willing to sell ANGLE tokens for $0.085 each but received $0.091 per token due to a price spike, resulting in an additional $2,000 in profit. This feature aims to benefit users by sharing the surplus gains, which other exchanges typically keep for themselves.
Limit orders on CoW Swap are surplus-capturing. In other words, when a price spikes, we give you the more-favorable rate (unlike other exchanges).
