Shift into CoW Protocol
Say goodbye to having to do multiple complex transactions, going to multiple interfaces, and hello to Shifts with ShapeShift.
What is CoW Protocol
CoW Protocol is a decentralized exchange aggregator that uses batch auctions and coincidence of wants (CoW) to match trades peer-to-peer without relying solely on liquidity pools. It routes through major DEXs like Uniswap, Balancer, and Curve, but avoids MEV and slippage by matching complementary orders directly. The protocol’s native token, COW, is used for governance and potential fee rebates. Built on Gnosis, CoW Protocol offers a unique, efficient way to trade assets across Ethereum and L2s.
Trade Smarter, Not Harder
ShapeShift uses CoW Protocol under the hood to find the most efficient path for your swap. If a matching order exists, your trade skips the pool and goes direct—saving gas and avoiding slippage.
No MEV Allowed
With batch auctions and private order matching, CoW Protocol shields your trade from front-runners. ShapeShift routes through CoW for safer, fairer swaps without the hassle.
