CoW Swap announced that swaps are now live in the Lido UI on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base, powered by CoW Protocol. Lido users can swap without leaving the interface — CoW's framing of "fewer tabs, same protection" points to intent-based settlement with MEV protection inside the staking app.
CoW Swap announced it now handles position swaps for Aave V4, starting on Ethereum, Base, and Avalanche. The integration routes Aave position swaps through CoW Protocol's intent-based settlement, letting users switch between positions without leaving the Aave experience.
CoW Swap said it is ENSv2-ready and part of the ENSv2 launch, the rebuild of the Ethereum Name Service built around a new foundation and more flexible name management. The team framed the release as the next chapter for onchain identity, adding that integrations keep "the same good intents" — CoW's intent-based settlement model.
CoW Swap is now available in Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, French, and Russian on top of English, the team announced on X. The localization was contributed by community collaborators, and the new languages are live on CoW Swap now.
CoW Swap is now live inside Ambire's Swap & Bridge, putting CoW Protocol's intent-based settlement directly in the wallet. CoW Swap announced the rollout on X, framing intent-based swaps as "one tap away": MEV-protected, solver-competed, and executable without leaving the wallet.
CoW DAO publicly voiced support for Blockworks' letter to the SEC regarding its proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework. The endorsement aligns with the DAO's push for clearer U.S. disclosure standards for crypto issuers.
The letter effort ties into Blockworks' broader Token Transparency work, which CoW has already engaged with through its B2 Token Transparency filing.
CoW Protocol is now under the hood of Hyperdex swaps, CoW Swap announced. Traders state what they want to trade and competing solvers race to settle it — CoW's intent-based, auction-style settlement mechanism is now powering the Hyperdex app's swaps.
CoW Swap announced that its core order guarantees — limit prices hold and orders don't overfill — have been formally verified by Verity (@Veritylab), the Lean 4-based formal verification project from LFG Labs. Unlike audit-style review, Verity produces machine-checked mathematical proofs of smart contract behavior, closing the gap between what CoW claims about its order execution and what can be proven.
CoW Swap framed the result as independent expert confirmation of properties it has long advertised to traders — a step toward provable execution guarantees for its batch-auction settlement.
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.
As part of the rollout, CoW Swap is running a #MooOrMyth myth-busting series, countering the idea that TWAP is only for whales — price impact doesn't scale with trade size, and with no Safe required, anyone can slice a trade into smaller bites over time. The team also highlights four ways to combine TWAP orders with limit orders.
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. The rollout brings the order type professional desks use to limit price impact to everyday traders.
CoW Swap is now live in RIFT, enabling same-chain swaps within the app. The integration routes trades through CoW Protocol's settlement infrastructure, giving RIFT users access to CoW's batch-auction execution and order types directly from their existing interface.
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.
