CoW Guild

A Meta-DEX is a next-generation decentralized exchange that aggregates liquidity across multiple DEXs and trading venues. Here's what makes it special: - Automatically finds the best prices across all major DEXs - Protects traders from MEV (Miner Extractable Value) - Reduces gas costs through batch processing - Provides better execution compared to single-DEX trades Meta-DEXs like CoW Protocol act as a layer above traditional DEXs, scanning multiple venues to ensure optimal trade execution. This approach particularly benefits high-volume traders seeking better prices and protection from front-running. *Want to learn more? Check out the full guide on Meta-DEX trading.*
