CoW Protocol Launches on Lens Chain
CoW Protocol is launching on Lens Chain. That means gasless, MEV-protected trading for the social chain that's redefining ownership and community in Web3.
P2P trading for the social chain
CoW Swap is now live on Lens - and with it comes a new way to trade inside the decentralized social universe. If you're used to juggling native tokens just to approve a swap, or watching gas fees chip away at your earnings, CoW Swap offers a refreshing alternative.
It's a trading layer that melts quietly into the background of your Lens-powered apps. You don't need to worry about gas. You don't need to second-guess your slippage settings. You don't even need to bring GHO - you just... trade. That's the whole idea: DeFi that feels as seamless as social media.
Lens has already built a reputation for modular, user-centric apps where creators own their content and their audiences. But until now, trading on Lens has still meant dealing with the same old frictions - wallet prompts, gas fees, and execution risks. CoW Swap removes that friction entirely.
We cover the gas, bundle trades efficiently, and route them through the best available paths. That means new users onboard faster, creators monetize more easily, and communities can interact without the "cost of clicking."
This deployment marks a milestone for CoW DAO, too. With Lens Chain now supported, CoW Swap is available across many major EVM environments - Ethereum, Gnosis Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and Polygon. This isn't expansion for expansion's sake. It's about making gasless, MEV-protected, intent-based trading part of the fabric of where people already connect.
Trade Your Way - Inside the Social Graph
CoW Swap isn't just about saving gas - it's about giving creators, communities, and traders real flexibility. Most DEXs offer one way to swap: sign a transaction and hope for the best. But on Lens, interactions are richer and more varied - tipping, gating content, collects, DAO treasury moves. You need trading that keeps up.
CoW Swap brings multiple order types and programmability to Lens:
-
Market orders for instant execution.
-
Limit orders to set your price and wait for the market to meet you.
-
TWAP orders to spread large trades over time without moving the market.
-
Programmatic orders for logic-based execution - like tipping a creator in a specific token once a post hits a set number of collects.
-
Milkman orders to execute only when conditions are most favourable.
And for builders, CoW Hooks let you tie swaps directly to on-chain actions. Imagine minting an NFT, joining a DAO, and swapping tokens for governance rights - all in one smooth, solver-routed transaction.
Now, every Lens-powered app can embed trading experiences that feel native, social, and seamless.
How CoW Swap Finds and Protects Your Trades
Most DEXs make you do the work - finding the best route, setting slippage, watching gas. CoW Swap flips the model.
When you trade on Lens, you're simply expressing intent. A competitive network of solvers races to fill that intent in the most efficient way possible - routing across AMMs, DEX aggregators, private market makers, and even matching directly with other Lens users through Coincidence of Wants. That last one means two people's trades can settle directly without touching a pool - skipping fees and slippage entirely.
Every Lens trade is also shielded from MEV. Your order never hits the public mempool where frontrunners lurk. Instead, trades are batched off-chain, protected by design. The result: better prices, no sandwich attacks, no hidden taxes - and you don't have to toggle a single setting.
Built for Builders in the Lens Ecosystem
CoW Protocol on Lens isn't just a better way to swap - it's a foundation for building new kinds of social-trading primitives. With intent-based architecture, surplus capture, and gasless execution, developers can:
-
Integrate frictionless swaps into Lens-native apps.
-
Create token-gated experiences with built-in monetization.
-
Enable tipping, DAO contributions, and micro-transactions without wallet friction.
Because CoW handles routing, batching, and execution behind the scenes, builders can focus on creating new social mechanics - not wrestling with liquidity fragmentation or MEV. And with GHO-based gas that's predictable and stable, the UX stays consistent across every interaction.
This isn't just a set of APIs. It's infrastructure you can count on - social-aware, creator-friendly, and ready to scale.
