MEV Blocker protects users and trading volume from MEV

CoW Swap has introduced a new bridge aggregator feature, allowing users to move assets between different blockchains without swapping tokens. **Key Features:** - Built-in bridging functionality integrated directly into CoW Swap - Simplifies cross-chain transfers for users - Available now at [swap.cow.fi](http://swap.cow.fi) This addition complements CoW Swap's existing cross-chain capabilities, which already include EVM to Solana swaps launched in May 2026. The bridge aggregator provides another tool for users managing assets across multiple chains.

CoW Protocol released its Q1 2026 performance report in collaboration with Token Terminal, showing significant trading activity across its MEV-protected exchange aggregator. **Key Metrics:** - $13.9B in total trading volume - 64,500 monthly active users - $9.6M in fees generated The report includes: - Trading volume breakdown by blockchain - Governance updates - Team analysis These figures represent continued growth from April's metrics of 292,947 trades and $4B monthly volume. CoW Protocol continues expanding its infrastructure across multiple chains and ecosystems.

CoW Protocol has published a comprehensive Token Transparency Filing in collaboration with Blockworks, establishing a new standard for protocol disclosure. **Key Details:** - The B-2 Filing covers COW token utility and governance structure - Part of a broader industry movement toward standardized token transparency - Follows similar filings from other protocols like ZKsync **What This Means:** The filing provides stakeholders with detailed information about the COW token's mechanics and governance framework. This initiative, developed with Blockworks, aims to create consistent disclosure standards across the crypto industry. The transparency framework addresses growing demand for clearer information about token economics and protocol operations. [Read the full B-2 Filing](filing-link-placeholder)

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.

**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 Try CoW Swap on Linea: [swap.cow.fi](https://swap.cow.fi/#/59144/swap/WETH/0x176211869cA2b568f2A7D4EE941E073a821EE1ff) Learn more about the Aave integration: [aave.com/blog/aave-cow-swap](https://aave.com/blog/aave-cow-swap)
