Token Rights and Value Accrual

Updated May 14, 2026

Overview

Token(s)
COW
Token Type
Governance
Utility
N/A

COW serves as a governance token within the CoW Protocol ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to participate directly in the decision-making processes that guide the protocol's development and evolution. The governance framework is designed to align incentives between the protocol's users, developers, and supporters.

Governance Rights

Control

Tokenholders contribute to CoW DAO's mission by participating in "CoWmunity" discussions on Discord, by adding proposals to the CoW DAO Forum, and by voting on governance actions in Snapshot. Governance is to be owned, developed, and enforced by the CoWmunity. Governance controls protocol upgrades, fee parameters, treasury allocation, grants, solver incentives, and revenue use. Anyone with sufficient COW can advance proposals.

Governance Decisions

COW

Anyone that holds > 10,000 COW can advance a CoW DAO Improvement Proposal.

COW

Fee Switch

ON

When any CoW Protocol users sends a swap to the trading protocol, fees are deducted from the sell token. The protocol charges a fee equal to 50% of the user's surplus taken in the sell token and a 2bps fee based on the volume of the order, these collected fees are converted into COW tokens. On average, 25% of Partner fees charged when integrating CoW Protocol are retained as a service fee to CoW Protocol and converted into WETH.
