An update on the Gnosis Pay incident. As of now, the issue is fully contained.
We expect to begin enabling operations in batches on Wednesday evening (GMT+2), with the goal of restoring normal card usage progressively after that. 🧵
#CoWGlossary: EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts) 🔐
EOAs are the most common type of blockchain account - the kind MetaMask, Rainbow, and Rabby manage for you.
Controlled by a private key (or seed phrase), they can hold assets, send transactions, and interact with smart contracts.
The catch? Every action needs your private key to sign off. Lose both your key and seed phrase, and your funds cannot be recovered.
Every time you swap on Uniswap, a bot sees your pending transaction in the mempool and sandwiches it.
You pay more and the bot pockets the difference.
This has quietly redistributed billions from traders to bots since DeFi launched.
@CoWSwap was built to kill this. 🐮
🚨 Pro Crypto Tip:
when swapping on Ethereum and popular EVM chains, cowswap is what you need to be using.
i use it all the time and just found out they have ref links.
especially with high $ amount transactions, this can save you thousands of dollars on MEV attacks and better routing.
Not only do you save massive sums of money, bit you earn rewards too using my link 👇
there's almost no reason to use uniswap over this...
oh yeah and it makes a moo sound 🐮

No more swapping before you deposit. @summerfinance_'s earn vaults now let you deposit with any token and withdraw to any asset - powered by CoW Protocol.
See the price upfront, the conversion happens automatically, and your position is filled. Seamless in, seamless out.
Welcome to the herd, @summerfinance_! 🐮
Vault deposits and withdrawals on https://t.co/edwMMaGtVb now route through @CoWSwap .
💸 Deposit with any token, Withdraw to any asset.💸
MEV-protected, solver-priced, all in one simple flow to get automatic access to DeFi’s highest quality yield.
The least fun part of yield (the swap before the deposit) is now gone, powered by @CoWSwap

When Ethereum solves cross-rollup fragmentation through EEZ and native rollups, value capture snaps back to L1 - and ETH reprices and decouples from the rest of the market. Underpriced right now.
Fundamentally, tokens are an incentive alignment mechanism
This is no different for $LINK
Unlike many crypto projects which have two competing sets of stakeholders (equity investors and token investors), Chainlink has just one: token holders
CLL employees don’t receive any company equity as part of their comp structure, but rather receive base comp in local currency and long-term incentives tied to $LINK
As a result, every individual at CLL helping build Chainlink has a direct financial incentive in seeing the token capture value from Chainlink’s success, their financial outcome is tied to it
Personally, some of the largest $LINK whales I personally know work for CLL, the incentive alignment is strong
Yes, there are still challenges to overcome and improvements to be made, all feedback is heard loud and clear
But I wouldn’t mistake opacity and strategic risk aversion as a lack of economic alignment
Missed our X Space AMA with @AragonProject last week?🤔

What if intents could do more than swaps? Now they can.
Atomic Bundles unlock advanced, composable workflows on CoW Protocol - letting protocols build complex atomic flows around settlement without reinventing the execution layer every time.

Let’s say you want to buy $BMNR 15% below NAV. At a traditional broker, placing a limit order in $ would not work well, as NAV can change dramatically based on the ETH price. Pricing it in ETH makes much more sense. @CoWSwap allows you to do exactly that.
#CoWGlossary: Transaction reordering 🔀
You might think blockchains process transactions in the exact order they're submitted. In reality, transactions can be reordered before they're finalized onchain.
Searchers can pay for better positioning in a block to place transactions before, around, or after another trade - enabling strategies like frontrunning, sandwich attacks, and backrunning.
This is one of the core mechanics behind MEV (Maximal Extractable Value).
