**APIs profiled:** 6

CoW DAO (CoW Swap) is a decentralized finance protocol on Ethereum that enables batch auctions to find the most efficient trades while protecting users from front‑running and MEV. It offers a suite of products including a swap interface, a solver marketplace, and tools for liquidity providers, all governed by the community. The protocol aggregates orders into Coincidence‑of‑Wants (CoW) batches, matching complementary trades to execute at the best price without exposing trade details to the market.
