Find answers to common questions about CoW DAO and its mission.
CoW DAO is an open collective of developers, market makers, and community contributors dedicated to protecting users from the dangers of DeFi, such as MEV (Maximal Extractable Value).
CoW Swap uses a unique batch auction mechanism and a network of solvers to find the best prices for trades while minimizing MEV. It bundles multiple orders into a single transaction, making it harder for malicious actors to front-run or sandwich trades.
COW tokens are the governance tokens of CoW DAO. Holding COW tokens allows you to participate in the DAO's governance, including proposing and voting on important decisions, and contributing to the future direction of the protocol.
You can get involved by holding COW tokens, joining the "CoWmunity" on Discord, participating in discussions on the CoW DAO Forum, and voting on governance actions in Snapshot. You can also explore the Grants Program if you have a project idea.
