CoW Protocol has announced the release of Programmatic Orders and the Programmatic Order Framework, which allow for automated order placement in DeFi. Programmatic Orders are orders that create more orders and execute when on-chain conditions are met. The Programmatic Order Framework simplifies order creation by automating the necessary code and enabling orders to be executed with just one signature. The framework supports advanced order types, automated DAO operations, portfolio rebalancing, and more. It offers benefits such as leveraging on-chain conditions, deploying orders en masse, and executing many orders in parallel. The framework is fully decentralized and brings convenience and predictability to DeFi actions. CoW Protocol is also accepting grant proposals for solutions built on top of the Programmatic Order Framework.

Backrunning is a specific type of MEV that causes traders to miss out on potential profit opportunities from their trades. It involves strategically executing a transaction immediately after a high-value transaction to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities left over. While backrunning is considered the least harmful type of MEV, it can be combined with other attacks to create the worst kind of MEV, such as sandwich attacks. CoW Swap eliminates backrunning opportunities through its delegated trading mechanism, and MEV Blocker offers rebates for any backrunning opportunities created when trading on Ethereum.
