CoW DAO Launches Automated Market Maker Solution to Protect Liquidity Providers
CoW DAO, known for its user-protective protocols like CoW Swap and MEV Blocker, is introducing an automated market maker (AMM) solution that aims to safeguard liquidity providers from maximal extractable value (MEV).
The First Product to Protect Liquidity Providers
While CoW DAO’s existing products protect traders from MEV, the CoW AMM is the project’s first offering designed specifically to shield liquidity providers.
Addressing Loss Versus Rebalancing
The CoW DAO team has developed a unique solution that tackles a type of MEV known as “loss versus rebalancing” (LVR). This refers to the losses incurred by liquidity providers on decentralized exchanges due to constant rebalancing by arbitrage bots.
An Introduction to Automated Market Makers
An automated market maker functions as a decentralized exchange that facilitates trading between crypto tokens. Instead of relying on traditional order books, AMMs utilize liquidity pools to automate pricing and trading.
Protecting Liquidity Providers
The CoW AMM captures the MEV that would typically be lost to arbitrageurs or MEV bots and redistributes it back to liquidity providers. This ensures that LPs are protected from toxic flow and receive surplus from any rebalancing activity, according to a spokesperson for CoW DAO.
Complementing Existing Offerings
In addition to the AMM, CoW DAO’s flagship product is CoW Swap, an intent-based decentralized exchange aggregator. The launch of the AMM will enhance the aggregator, providing existing users with improved liquidity options.
