About CoW DAO

CoW DAO is on a mission to protect Ethereum users from MEV and optimize trade execution across DeFi. We achieve this through the CoW Protocol, CoW Swap (a leading intent-based DEX aggregator), and the innovative MEV Blocker, which together help secure, aggregate, and route trades for optimal outcomes. We also fund values-aligned projects via the CoW Grants Program.

CoW Protocol is ranked among the top DEX aggregators by volume and is the largest intent-based exchange. Our MEV Blocker protects trades from harmful MEV extraction and is integrated across Ethereum. The CoW AMM is designed to protect liquidity providers from LVR.

With over 100 open-source repositories on GitHub, we are transparent, community-driven, and committed to open source. Our analytics dashboard showcases billions in trading volume. We continue to scale, prioritizing security, efficiency, and decentralization.
