How Limit Orders Enhance DeFi Trading
A limit order is a tool that enables traders to execute swaps only when their desired price conditions are met. Unlike market orders, which execute instantly at the current market price, limit orders give users the ability to plan trades, protect against sudden price swings, and manage risk more effectively. With CoWSwap powering this feature, Aave can leverage batch auctions and optimized routing to reduce slippage and improve execution efficiency.
For example, a trader looking to swap ETH for USDC on Arbitrum at a specific price can now set a limit order. The swap will only execute if the market reaches that price, avoiding unwanted losses due to volatility. This mirrors a trend seen in traditional finance where investors routinely use limit orders to control costs and timing.
