Company mission
To build the ultimate batch auction settlement layer across EVM compatible blockchains, to make markets both more efficient and fair.
Our take
In the battle to build the blockchain future, MEV stands alongside scaling and hacks as one of the most serious issues that smart contract blockchains are facing. This, and the need to search multiple exchanges for the best prices, present huge barriers to the adoption of decentralised trade. CoW Protocol, a settlement layer for decentralised trading, protects from MEV and searches across multiple exchanges to get clients the best price, in a reliable and simple way.
CoW Protocol is the industry leader in protecting users from frontrunning and sandwich attack, by matching trades peer-to-peer and leveraging batch auctions to make trade order irrelevant. It is able to run multiple trades at once, provides the best price at time of execution and, unlike other DEXs and aggregators, does not charge for failed transactions. In addition, integration is quick and easy, encouraging clients towards the company.
CoW, which was incubated for four years by GnosisDAO, spun out from Gnosis publicly in 2022. The company has since raised significant funds that will be used to develop the CoW Protocol ecosystem, hire talent, fuel expansion into new chains, and amplify marketing efforts.
