GIP-13 is now in phase 3 & live for voting on Snapshot 👏👀
This is the signaling snapshot vote of your lifetime 🐮🗳️
$GNO holders get to decide if GnosisDAO should proceed and deploy CowDAO & the vCOW token as outlined in the proposal. Vote 👇👇
❗️BIG NEWS COMING AT U NOW❗️
Today we're super excited to share with you our rebranding from Gnosis Protocol to CoW Protocol and thus paving our road to independence - moo🐄
The new year marks new beginnings.
Please, welcome CoW Protocol 🐮🎆
A GIP (GnosisDAO Improvement Proposal) has been submitted for the creation of a CowSwap specific token. The proposal lays out details of the motivation behind it, its functionality & distribution. Make sure to participate so that your voice is heard 😁
🐮🪙 alert!
We've amended GIP-13 to include a concrete layout for the vCOW distribution, in line with the overall criteria suggested in the proposal.
Would love to get some external 👀 on this already!

Allocation of vCOW:
🌊 🌊 🌊
The dirty secret of AMMs is that many of their pools are leaking.
In fact, liquidity providers lose 5-7% of their profits to MEV every year, making *most liquidity pools* unprofitable.
That's why CoW DAO is building the first MEV-capturing AMM.
We call it CoW AMM.
CoW Swap is excited to announce the launch of an entirely new class of orders. We call them Programmatic Orders. ✨
Programmatic Orders execute automatically, in perpetuity, according to the conditional parameters you set.
Let's dive in. 🤿
CoW Swap, in collaboration with
@beaverbuild
and Agnostic Relayer, is proud to announce MEV Blocker. ⛱️
MEV Blocker is a free RPC endpoint that *pays users* to protect themselves from MEV across a wide variety of use cases in DeFi, NFTs, and dApps.
📢 Today marks the birth of CowDAO
After the successful vote of GIP-13, the CowProtocol team has gained its independence. Also, the long awaited vCOW token claim just landed in your wallet!
1/ New beta drop! 👀
Meet UniswapX⚡— a new permissionless, open source (GPL), auction-based protocol for trading across AMMs & other liquidity sources.
TL;DR: Over time, it’ll give users more liquidity, better prices, MEV protection, & gas-free swapping!
Opt-in to the beta👇
Last night, a hacker exploited an external solver and used it to drain the settlement contract, which held 7 days worth of protocol fees.
Users are not affected since we never hold user funds (!)
Neither Cow Swap is affected: The solver's bond will pay for all damages.
A 🧵👇
GIP-13, the proposal to spin CowSwap out of Gnosis and launch a native token, has been moved to phase 2 🪙🐄
Make sure you read it carefully, you'll find new details 👀
We smashed another ATH record📈🚀

@CoWSwap
. The trade got settled with a slippage tolerance of 0.5% and got $80K of surplus that in any other DEXs could have been stolen via MEV!
This trade wouldn't have been possible without CoW Swap’s execution model.
A 🧵
On the brighter side of news... excited to share that
@ensdomains
vote to sell 10K worth of ETH through CoW Swap passed👏🐮
ENS wants to diversify its treasury to maximize its runway & it doesn't want to gamble having the trade exploited via its slippage
Cows can sometimes get a bad rap for their gas emissions...
But CoW Swap is committed to reducing gas as much as possible.
That's why we're pleased to announce that gasless approvals are now live on

Yesterday CoW Protocol smashed another a new record📈🚀
The protocol handled more than $100M in volume giving it a 26% market share (highest daily market share in the protocol's history) in the aggregator space.

CoWs are here to save the day🐄
Traders on CowSwap can't be rugged by MEV bots because
- if the trade is in a CoW, liquidity is matched p2p & thus can't be attacked
- if it goes to an AMM, the executor (solver) its the one absorbing the risk from the user
The CoWs AGMI 🐮
#UniSwap
is also great 🤣
A Bot bought

ETH value comes from devs building cool and useful stuff on top of it. It has a huge lead making it very valuable
For example, Uniswap is a cool thing people like to use and is by far the biggest value driver of Ethereum today (~25% of blockspace + ~75% of MEV)
This needs to…

Well now you can.

Worried about the new interface fees on Uniswap?
CoW Swap's solvers find the best rates available in DeFi, and they don't pay frontend fees.
So if the best price is on Uniswap, we'll give you that price. But if the best price is now available somewhere else ... we got you.
I work in crypto because of the immense positive impact I believe it can have on the world, removing gatekeepers and increasing access to value and ownership.
I’m proud of the ways

🛡Results: well-secured project.
📝Audit details:
With the introduction of CIP-38, $COW tokenomics received a major overhaul 🌀
TL;DR: All fees generated by the protocol are now immediately converted from ETH to $COW — effectively creating an ongoing buyback program for the $COW token.

User funds are never at risk!
Potential damages are capped at the weekly revenue of the protocol + are protected by the solver bonding pools.
We apologize for the early morning scare, it was a good stress test for CoW Swap.

📈 Stats update 🐮🤓
The stats are reassuring us in our commitment to build the best batch layer for trading onchain🚀📈
Since August (launch of audited contracts):
- Trading volume: ⬆️ 726%
- Active traders: ⬆️ 419%
This is just the beginning of moonderful times 👀
Today we are thrilled to announce a feature long-requested by the CoWmunity … 🥁🥁…
Traders can now swap ETH natively on their favorite MEV-protected DEX aggregator (that’s us 😜), without having to wrap it. 🚀🐮
You ask, we deliver. 🫡
We are aware of an issue that has impacted the fees that CoW Protocol has collected over the past week.
We have mitigated the issue and are conducting an investigation.
Traders are in no way affected.

Yesterday, we finally had the chance to taste our 1 Billion trading volume celebratory cake 🥳🎉👏🎂
Little did we know that delaying the celebration some days would mean that the cake was outdated so quickly…🙃
We are almost at 2 Billion trading volume mark 💸
For those complaining the proposal would be unfair because they aren't in the list despite all their activity:
everyone who traded only once and had a total vol of at least 1K USD is included.
Make sure you check both tabs of the document!💡
