CIP-68 on CoW DAO - a proposal for distribution of all solver $COW rewards on mainnet, on order to simplify logistics and ensure healthy markets.Active now -

CoW DAO is currently voting on CIP‑68, a governance proposal that would change how COW token rewards for solvers are distributed on CoW Protocol. Solvers are the off-chain actors that compete to find the best execution for trades routed through CoW Protocol, and they are incentivized with COW rewards. CIP‑68 proposes that all solver COW rewards be distributed on Ethereum mainnet, rather than across multiple chains, with the stated goals of simplifying reward logistics and supporting healthier, more liquid COW markets as the protocol expands to additional networks. The proposal is live on CoW DAOs Snapshot space, following the DAOs standard CoW DAO Improvement Proposal (CIP) governance flow, where community discussion on the forum precedes a 7‑day token‑holder vote on Snapshot. Concentrating solver rewards on mainnet is framed as an operational and market-structure upgrade: it reduces the complexity of distributing incentives across chains and may help aggregate COW liquidity and price discovery on a single venue, which is relevant as CoW Protocol scales and continues to attract volume as a major DEX aggregator. The outcome of the CIP‑68 vote will determine whether this new mainnet-only reward distribution model becomes the standard for all future solver incentives.
