Swap

Reported by The Block, CoW DAO, which operates user-protective protocols like CoW Swap and MEV Blocker, is launching an automated market maker solution that aims to protect liquidity providers from maximal extractable value.
CoW DAO's solution — unlike typical AMMs — will protect liquidity providers against what is described as a type of MEV called loss versus rebalancing. LVR refers to the losses liquidity providers on an AMM-based decentralized exchange incur due to arbitrage bots constantly rebalancing liquidity pools.
The AMM would capture the MEV that would otherwise be lost to arbitrageurs — or MEV bots — and share it back with LPs, the developers explained. “Liquidity providers are protected from toxic flow and know that whoever rebalances will always forward them surplus,” a spokesperson for CoW DAO said.
The project's flagship offering until now is CoW Swap — an intent-based decentralized exchange aggregator. Its AMM release will complement the aggregator, allowing existing users to tap into better liquidity.
While CoW DAO’s other products already secure traders from MEV, CoW AMM is the first product from the project protecting liquidity providers.
