About CoW Protocol
CoW Protocol is a decentralised trading platform on Ethereum that uses batch auctions and direct peer-to-peer matching to improve trade efficiency. Founded by Anna George, it operates under a decentralised governance model (CowDAO) where COW token holders influence protocol development and operations.
CoW Protocol is a decentralised trading platform built on the Ethereum blockchain that focuses on optimising trade execution through batch auctions and a mechanism known as Coincidence of Wants (CoWs). The protocol reduces reliance on traditional liquidity pools by enabling direct peer-to-peer matches, which can lower transaction costs and slippage. It also mitigates risks associated with Miner Extractable Value (MEV) exploitation by using solvers—entities that compete to provide the most efficient trade execution for users.
The COW token serves several key purposes within the CoW Protocol ecosystem:
Governance:
- The COW token enables decentralised decision-making through CowDAO.
- Token holders can propose changes, discuss initiatives, and vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and operational policies.
Economic Incentives:
- COW token holders may receive discounts on trading fees when using affiliated platforms, such as CowSwap.
Community Engagement:
- The token ensures that stakeholders play an active role in the protocol's development and long-term sustainability by participating in governance and other activities.
By combining governance and utility, the COW token drives participation and alignment of interests within the ecosystem.
CoW Protocol was founded by Anna George, whose work in blockchain development and decentralised finance contributed to the platform's creation.
