Aave Labs expanded its partnership with CoW Swap to integrate CoW Protocol’s MEV-protected solver network across all Aave[.]com swaps and launch the first intent-based flash loan product
The Aave/CoW integration represents a critcal shift in how DeFi protocols think about MEV protection. What's interesting isn't just the solver network integration, but that this is the first intent-based flash loan product, which fundamentaly changes the attack surface for MEV extraction. If flash loans become intent-driven rather than atomic, you remove the deterministic transaction ordering that most MEV bots rely on, making sandwich attacks significantly harder topull off at scale.
