CoW Protocol is a decentralized trading protocol built around batch auctions and order matching. By aggregating and optimizing user orders before execution, it reduces slippage, lowers MEV risk, and improves on-chain trading efficiency. Unlike traditional automated market makers, AMMs, or DEX aggregators, CoW Protocol introduces the concept of Coincidence of Wants, allowing traders to match directly with one another, which helps reduce costs and on-chain friction.
