4/ Aggregators play a unique role. Unlike MEV bots or arbitrageurs, their goal is best price execution. Aggregators may not be the most visible players, but they influence 6-10% of Uniswap's volume, showcasing their critical role in the DEX landscape.

While both introduce expanded programmability, CoW Swap hooks enable user-focused trade enhancements, while Uniswap v4 hooks primarily customize liquidity pools.

This process is managed by solvers. Solvers aggregate user intents into batch auctions to discover Coincidence of Wants (CoWs) - overlapping trade interests enabling direct peer-to-peer trades without liquidity pools. This saves on fees and slippage.

The innovations at CoW Swap and the evolving features of Uniswap v4 showcase the industry's growth and our shared vision for a more accessible financial future. At UF, we're inspired by these advancements as we continue to build and contribute to a decentralized world.

Solvers compete to optimize order routing and pricing across venues like Uniswap. The best surplus-maximizing solution wins, executing trades atomically via the CoW contract. Solvers earn a portion of the fee to incentivize optimization.
