CoW DAO

Five years ago, we asked a simple question: what if trading could be fairer? Today, CoW Swap turns 5. 🐄🎂 And the answer - built trade by trade, wallet by wallet - is $200,000,000,000 in volume. Two hundred billion dollars. Let that sink in.

6/ Five years in, we're just getting started. More chains. Better prices. Fairer trading for everyone - whether you're swapping for the first time or the millionth. Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting us with your trades. Here's to the next $200B. 🐄✨

#CoWGlossary: TWAP Order (Time-Weighted Average Price)⏳ If you are buying a massive amount of tokens, dumping it all at once will crash the price (high price impact). TWAP is a strategy that breaks your big order into many small pieces and executes them over a set period of time. Example: instead of buying 100 ETH instantly, you buy 1 ETH every 10 minutes. Why use it: It smooths out volatility and ensures you get the "average" market price over that time period, rather than suffering from a price spike caused by your own trade.

@BoarBreeder @TeeLew87035 x.com/CoWSwap/status…

@TeeLew87035 @CoWSwap Any word or response on what they are going to do about this yet...sorry for your loss...I'm trippin over 4k...could only imagine what you're going through

🚨🚨 UPDATE: CoW Swap experienced a DNS hijacking at 14:54 UTC (approximately 90 minutes ago). The CoW Protocol backend and APIs were not impacted, but we have paused them temporarily as a precaution. We are now actively working to resolve the situation. Please continue to refrain from using swap dot cow dot fi until we confirm that it is safe to use.

Thanks to everyone building solvers and trading with us - these improvements exist because the ecosystem keeps pushing. Moooooo. 🐮 END OF THREAD.

🤔 What this means in practice: → Solvers compete more directly for your trades → Order execution gets more efficient → Pricing stays consistent for users trading the same token pairs Cleaner mechanics. Better fills.📷✨

CoW Upgrade news! 📰 Two solver infrastructure updates just went live - both aimed at strengthening solver competition and execution flow. Let's explain. 🧵

User protection is a core promise of CoW Swap. We are therefore proposing a discretionary grants program so that victims of the April 14 DNS hijacking incident can be made whole as quickly as possible. Proposal details can be found on the CoW DAO forum, here: forum.cow.fi/t/cip-draft-di… Note that because of the high sums involved in the incident, this proposal will need to pass governance to go into effect. Please signal your support or give feedback directly in the forum.

@R___Kane @tydrohq @Ponzinomix @xStocksFi Hey @R___Kane, could you tell us which wallet are you using? This will help us debug faster.

@tydrohq @Ponzinomix @xStocksFi @CoWSwap I can't swap. What could it be this problem "signature is invalid"? (I'm using USDC)

Have you traded @xStocksFi on Tydro yet? Swaps are live on Tydro via @CoWSwap. Phase 2: Borrow & lend against your XStocks soon Phase 3: TBA 😏

Update: CoW Swap has received communication from Vercel stating, “At this time, we do not have reason to believe your Vercel credentials or personal data have been compromised.”

We’ll continue monitoring as Vercel’s investigation progresses. We have no indication CoW Swap was among the impacted customers. However, we still completed all recommended remediation steps: ✅ Rotated all tokens ✅ Audited deployments -> no malicious code ✅ Reviewed activity logs -> no suspicious access CoW Swap is safe to use.

@0xInitialAce @Pybast No

@Pybast Is this related to the @CoWSwap attack?

Sorry to announce more bad news. I would advise to stop interacting with ANY DeFi dApp for the coming days as there is an ongoing incident on Vercel related to stolen Github and NPM keys. We still don't know enough but if the claims are true, frontends could get compromised from Github or from supply chain attacks. These are the attack vectors used to hack bybit or compromise Ledger’s Connect Kit. Stay safe!
