Why CoW Swap?
CoW Swap’s solver competition ensured that Nexus Mutual received the best possible execution price, even after announcing the trade details publicly in a governance proposal ahead of time.
CoW Swap provided several benefits for this trade:
- Protection from attack vectors caused by the delayed execution
- A limit order that guarantees some minimum amount for the assets
- Minting rETH through CoW Swap directly, instead of swapping for the liquidity on the market
For this swap, Nexus Mutual chose the Chainlink oracle as their price checker, guaranteeing that they would receive no less than the minimum specified in the governance proposal.
