CoW Swap launches on BNB Chain
CoW Swap is live on BNB Chain. Traders can now swap tokens without holding BNB for gas, while benefiting from better pricing, programmatic orders, cross-chain swaps and built-in MEV protection. It's the smoothest way to trade on one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto.
Built for Traders
BNB Chain is built for traders. With low fees and high throughput, it's home to one of the most active retail communities in crypto. But there's a catch: most swaps still require holding BNB for gas, repeating token approvals, and trading in the open where MEV bots can take a cut.
CoW Swap removes that friction. On BNB Chain, swaps are gasless by default, approvals are covered for you, and trades run through MEV-shielded auctions. That means you keep more of every trade – without juggling native tokens or losing time to extra steps.
Trade your way - built for gasless trading
CoW Swap on BNB Chain isn't just about gasless swaps, it's about giving traders the flexibility to trade how they want. Most DEXs offer one option: swap now and hope for the best. But on BNB Chain, trading is fast, meme-driven, and community-powered – from chasing the next token to managing larger bags. You need tools that keep up.
CoW Swap brings advanced order types and programmability to BNB Chain:
-
Market orders → instant execution at strong prices
-
Limit orders → set your price and let the market come to you
-
TWAP orders → spread big trades over time to avoid moving the market
-
Programmatic orders → orders that generate more orders, which execute conditionally according to pre-defined logic (e.g. DCA)
-
Hooks → allow you to string multiple DeFi actions together in one transaction (e.g. swap then bridge then deposit).
With CoW Swap, BNB Chain traders don't just get faster swaps. They get smarter ways to trade, built into the chain's culture of speed, community, and creativity.
How CoW Swap finds you a better trade - and protects it
Most DEXs leave it up to you to find the best deal. On BNB Chain, that usually means swapping through an AMM pool on PancakeSwap or another DEX, and hoping you’ve found the best deal.
CoW Swap is an intent-based DEX aggregator that flips this model on its head. When you submit a trade with CoW Swap, you're not pushing it directly through one pool. Instead, you're telling CoW Swap what you want to do – and letting a competitive network of solvers fight to give you the best outcome.
These solvers don't just route across AMMs like PancakeSwap. They also plug into other DEXs and aggregators on BNB Chain, cross-chain liquidity, private market makers, and even their own internal inventory. Plus, CoW Swap unlocks something unique: Coincidence of Wants – when your trade gets matched directly with another user's trade, letting you both skip pools, slippage, and fees entirely.
What does this mean in practice? BNB Chain users now get a meta DEX: one that doesn't just search liquidity, but helps you find the best price possible. The result is consistently stronger execution without manual routing, splitting, or gas juggling.
Finally, every trade on CoW Swap is MEV-protected by design. With most DEXs, the second you sign a transaction, it hits the mempool, where MEV bots can frontrun or sandwich it. But with CoW Swap, trades are batched off-chain, shielded from bots, and executed in a way that prevents MEV extraction at the structural level.
Now that CoW Swap is on BNB Chain, this level of execution and protection is now the default. No settings to tweak, no wallet hacks. Just better prices, and safer trades.
