About the Company
CoW Protocol is on a mission to create the fairest and most efficient venue for exchanging digital assets on all EVM-compatible chains. We are an ambitious, fast-growing, and international team working at the forefront of DeFi. We believe that we can make markets both more efficient and fair by building the ultimate batch auction settlement layer across EVM-compatible blockchains. CoW Protocol is the industry leader in protecting users from MEV, including frontrunning and sandwich attacks, which lose traders thousands of dollars every day. The protocol does this by matching trades peer-to-peer and leveraging batch auctions to circumvent MEV bots.
