CoW Swap
CoW Protocol finds the lowest price for your trade across all exchanges and aggregators, such as Uniswap & 1inch — and protects you from MEV, unlike the others

CoW Swap's teased September 30 launch is here: TWAP orders are now live for every wallet, dropping the previous requirement of a Safe multisig with a custom fallback handler. Any externally owned account (EOA) can now place, edit, and cancel time-weighted average price orders directly on swap.cow.fi across all supported EVM chains.
bleu, the CoW DAO core unit behind the tooling, notes that TWAP order discovery on CoW Swap is powered by the Programmatic Orders API it built and open-sourced to handle programmatic order flows and conditional execution.
The rollout brings the order type professional desks use to limit price impact to everyday traders — a step toward the "available for everyone, not a select group" promise in CoW Swap's teaser.
Ondo launched its Intelligent Portfolios on Ethereum and BNB Chain, packing portfolio rebalancing into a single token handled at the smart contract level. All settlement runs through CoW Protocol's trading infrastructure, so users no longer need to manually rebalance across multiple assets.
This gives CoW users access to automated, tokenized portfolio management built on CoW's batch-auction execution.
CoW Swap has rolled out trade notifications delivered through Telegram. By connecting their account, traders get pinged the moment an order fills, partially fills, or expires — no more manually refreshing the orders tab.
Users can enable notifications directly from the CoW Swap interface.
Aave has enabled asset swaps and position swaps, powered by CowSwap, on its Plasma app — a market with $1.6B in total size. Users can now swap any asset, or swap collateral and debt positions, directly from the Aave UI, with execution routed through CowSwap's trading infrastructure.
CoW Swap has launched partial approvals for Limit and TWAP orders, meaning every order type on the platform now approves exactly the tokens being traded and nothing more. Traders no longer need to grant full token allowances beyond the specific trade amount.
The change tightens approval hygiene across the full order suite. Users can try the new approvals directly on CoW Swap.
CoW Protocol now supports RealityFi's rTokens — more than 1,700 tokenized real-world assets (RWA) — accessible directly through the Bitget Wallet. The integration means CoW users can trade tokenized equities through the same aggregation infrastructure used for every other trade. Traders gain access to a broad set of tokenized RWAs without leaving their wallet.
Aave has launched a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, announced by CoW Protocol. The MCP lets users and AI agents design and execute complex lending strategies on Aave directly through AI assistants. CoW highlights it as a major upgrade for DeFi, enabling seamless AI-driven interaction with Aave's lending markets.
Gate Web3 has integrated CoW Protocol-powered execution into its swap experience. The integration brings solver competition and batch-auction execution directly to Gate DEX users. This allows Gate Web3 traders to benefit from CoW Protocol's MEV-protected trading infrastructure.
Coinbase Tokenized Stocks launched on Base, and CoW Protocol is one of the first DEX aggregators offering them from day one. The tokenized stocks are available only in eligible locations outside the United States. CoW adds these assets to its aggregation across the Base chain.
CIP-87 is live on Snapshot for a vote. The proposal redesigns solver penalty caps, switching from a fixed penalty amount to a relative percentage of trade volume to better balance execution quality and speed. COW holders can vote.
CoW DAO launched CoW AMM, billed as the first live automated market maker that solves the loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR) problem by capturing and redistributing the MEV that would otherwise go to arbitrageurs, protecting liquidity providers.
The launch of CoW Hooks let users bundle pre- and post-trade DeFi actions into a single intent, transforming CoW Protocol from a swap-intent-matching engine into a generalized intent execution machine.
CoW Protocol closed a roughly $23 million token round from investors including Blockchain Capital, Cherry Ventures, and Ethereal Ventures as the project separated from Gnosis DAO to become its own entity.
A token generation event for the COW token concluded, and the vCOW tokens airdropped to early traders and GNO holders became swappable 1:1 into the new tradable COW token.
Following the popularity of CoW Swap, the protocol rebranded to the Coincidence of Wants (CoW) Protocol, and GNO holders were offered a one-year lock in exchange for vested COW (vCOW) airdrop tokens.
Gnosis introduced GPv2, an intent-based batch-auction design aimed at resisting MEV, alongside the CoW Swap proof-of-concept interface and the Balancer-Gnosis-Protocol integration.
Gnosis announced the launch of Gnosis Protocol, a batch-auction based DEX protocol resulting from two years of research and development that enables ring trades on Ethereum.
