Study Shows CoW Swap Leads Intent-Based DEXes in Decentralization and Volume
馃惍 DEX Battle: David vs Goliaths
A comprehensive 6-month trading analysis reveals CoW Swap's dominance among solver-based DEXes:
- Higher Trading Volume: ~$200M daily vs $60M (1inch Fusion) and $30M (UniswapX)
- More Decentralized: Top solver only controls 25% market share, with next five at ~10% each
- Better for Large Trades: Shows best execution improvement for trades over 100 ETH
The study compared CoW Swap, 1inch Fusion, and UniswapX, finding solver-based DEXes generally outperform traditional alternatives through optimized routing and off-chain liquidity access.
