CoW DAO(@CoWSwap):#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. 😉
