Getting started with Swap

Learn how swaps work and their integrations within Gnosis App.

Disclaimer : The swap feature available through Gnosis App is powered by CoW Protocol, a decentralised DEX aggregation we do not own, control, maintain or audit. For more information, see cow.fi. By proceeding, you acknowledge that its use is at your own risk and that you have read our Terms (Third party services).

Swap allows you to exchange digital assets directly within Gnosis App using liquidity powered by CoW Protocol. Swap helps you trade tokens across multiple liquidity sources while optimizing your trade execution.


🔄 How Swap works?

When you create a swap in Gnosis App, you sign an intent to trade instead of interacting directly with a liquidity pool. The order is submitted to CoW Protocol, where competing solvers search for the most efficient execution route using aggregated onchain liquidity.


🧠 Understand Coincidence of Wants

A Coincidence of Wants, or CoW, happens when two users want opposite sides of the same trade. Instead of routing both trades through external liquidity pools, CoW Protocol can match these orders directly. This may help reduce trading costs, slippage, and price impact.
