CoW Protocol
Intent-based trading protocol with batch-auction solvers, MEV protection, and a developer API and SDK.
Overview
CoW Protocol (and its CoW Swap frontend) is an intent-based trading protocol: users sign an 'intent to trade' and a network of competing solvers finds optimal settlement via batch auctions, providing MEV protection. It offers an Order Book API and a CoW SDK (TradingSdk, OrderSigningUtils, OrderBookApi) plus a Python client (cow-py) for programmatic order creation and signing, usable by trading agents. Execution quality and safety are not verified here.
