CoW Guild

The MEV Blocker experienced a temporary issue, but it has been resolved. The problem was quickly identified and fixed. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

CoW Guild is conducting a 2024 State of DeFi survey. Participants have a chance to win a prize.

Olga Fetisova of CoW Protocol gives a talk on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) and its impact on the Ethereum ecosystem. MEV refers to the profit extracted by miners or other actors in the blockchain network who insert, remove, and re-order transactions. Fetisova discusses common types of MEV attacks, such as frontrunning, backrunning, and sandwich attacks. She also highlights the prevalence of MEV attacks on Uniswap. To combat MEV exploits, Fetisova introduces MEV Blocker, a specialized RPC endpoint that conceals transactions from public exposure, and CoW Swap, a dApp that protects trades from MEV exploitation through delegated trade execution, coincidence of wants (CoW), and uniform clearing prices.

An adventurer unlocked the second treasure chest in the CoW Guild community, containing 1000 WXDAI + 1000 BZZ from @ethswarm. The race is on to claim the final $10,000 prize.

Milkman, a contract developed in collaboration with CoW Protocol and Yearn Finance, allows DAOs and smart contract wallets to set dynamic price backstops for trades that will execute in the future. Several prominent DAOs, including Aave, Nexus Mutual, and ENS Domains, have already utilized Milkman for significant trades. The CoW Grants Program is also working on a version 2 of Milkman to further enhance its functionality. Stay tuned for more information.
