CoW DAO's September recap: TWAP for EOAs and two governance votes

October 5, 2026

CoW DAO published its September 2026 monthly recap, headlined by TWAP orders opening to every EOA wallet after previously requiring a Safe multisig. It also recaps partial approvals across all order types, Telegram trade notifications, and CoW Protocol now powering Aave position swaps on Plasma, Gate Web3 swaps, and RealityFi rTokens on Bitget Wallet.

September numbers: $3.5B monthly volume across 612,679 trades and 110.2k active wallets, with 16.1% DEX aggregator market share (3rd across all chains). Governance saw two votes:

CIP-88 (quote competition redesign, with a dedicated reward budget targeting 10% of protocol revenue) passed on Snapshot on September 25;
CIP-89 (returning 200,000 BAL to Balancer DAO to release 631,850.82 COW early and unwind the CIP-69 arrangement) closes October 7.
