CoW Swap

CoW Swap has introduced cross-chain swaps to Bitcoin, maintaining its signature MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protection. **Key Features:** - Direct Bitcoin swaps across different blockchains - Built-in MEV protection to prevent front-running - Seamless bridge and swap experience **What This Means:** Users can now swap tokens to Bitcoin across chains without exposure to MEV attacks, which typically occur when traders' transactions are exploited by bots. The platform combines cross-chain functionality with the same protections previously available for single-chain swaps. Learn more at [swap.cow.fi](http://swap.cow.fi)

CoW Protocol has released its Token Transparency disclosure report in partnership with Blockworks, marking a shift toward verifiable documentation over traditional press releases.

Safe{Mobile} users can now connect their multisig wallets to [CoW Swap](https://cow.fi) using WalletConnect, bringing MEV-protected trading to mobile devices. **Key features:** - Access CoW Swap's price aggregation across exchanges like Uniswap and 1inch - Full MEV protection for multisig transactions - Manage DAO and team treasuries on the go This integration extends CoW Swap's existing multisig support, which launched earlier this year with swap and bridge functionality. Teams can now execute protected trades from anywhere, without being tied to a desktop setup. The mobile integration maintains the same security standards as desktop multisig operations while adding flexibility for treasury management.

**CoW Protocol's batch auction system now powers Lido Finance's Fast Swaps**, removing the vulnerability window that bots exploit for front-running. **How it works:** - Batch auctions group transactions together - Eliminates the time gap bots use to front-run individual trades - Provides instant liquidity for unstaking across ETH, WETH, USDC, USDT, USDS, and WBTC - No withdrawal queue required The integration builds MEV protection directly into Lido's interface, allowing users to unstake without waiting while maintaining competitive pricing.

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)

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.
