## Case study — CoW Protocol CoW offloaded high-context ecosystem work — SDKs, tooling, governance, user-facing product — so the core team stayed focused on the protocol. 30+ Months of partnership · 16 Initiatives shipped · 32% TS SDK bundle size cut · 2 Weeks to ship the AMM Deployer CoW Protocol is a core piece of DeFi infrastructure, providing MEV protection, programmable orders, and AMMs used by a growing ecosystem of developers, integrators, users, and DAO participants. As the protocol matured, the main challenge shifted from correctness to accessibility and adoption. Powerful infrastructure existed, but using it — or building on top of it — required deep protocol knowledge and specific technical choices. Shipped: - cow-py — Python SDK: Built from scratch with full feature parity with the JS SDK - TypeScript SDK re-architecture: Rebuilt around Viem with adapters for Ethers v5, Ethers v6, Viem, and Wagmi - CoW AMM Deployer Safe App: Deploy and manage AMMs without touching contracts — shipped in 2 weeks - Safe Watch Tower: Auto-submits EIP-1271 signed orders once the signing threshold is reached - Dune governance dashboard: Governance participation in one transparent view - AI agent skills + MCP server: Five skill packs teaching coding agents the CoW stack Outcome: By offloading hard-to-delegate technical work without adding management overhead, CoW was able to expand its ecosystem, improve developer and user experience, and strengthen long-term protocol maintainability — while keeping the core team focused on advancing the protocol itself.
