Gate News: On March 16, Aave and CoW Swap each released incident analysis reports regarding the previous “high slippage trading loss of $50 million” event, with opposing viewpoints. Aave stated that the cause of the incident was due to insufficient market liquidity, not slippage issues. User order sizes far exceeded available market liquidity, and CoW Swap’s quotes were already 99.9% below the expected market liquidation price, which users confirmed they accepted. CoW Swap pointed out that the platform’s gas limits were outdated, the optimal solver won two auctions but never submitted any trades on-chain, and trades could have leaked from a private memory pool. CoW Swap believes that checkboxes should not be the only security measure. Notably, neither report mentioned the approximately $44 million MEV extracted by bots from this transaction.
