#CoWGlossary#: Front-running 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Front-running is when someone sees your trade before it executes and jumps ahead of it to profit from the price move your trade will cause. On most DEXes, your transaction sits in a public mempool before it settles - visible to anyone watching. CoW Protocol orders are submitted off-chain and settled in batches, so there's no public transaction to jump ahead of. 😉

#CoWGlossary#: Settlement 🐮 Settlement is what actually happens when a trade executes on-chain - tokens move from one wallet to another, permanently recorded on the blockchain. On CoW Protocol, settlement happens in batches. Multiple orders are grouped, matched where possible, and settled together in a single on-chain transaction. The result: fewer transactions, lower gas overhead, and the potential for better prices across everyone in the batch. 💪

#CoWGlossary#: Meta DEX Aggregator 🌐 If a DEX aggregator is a travel search engine, a Meta DEX Aggregator is a search engine that searches the search engines. Standard aggregators scan various liquidity pools. CoW Swap goes a step further - our solvers scan: • Onchain liquidity pools • Other DEX aggregators • Private/offchain liquidity sources (market makers) More routes. More competition. Better execution. 💪
