How to convert CoW Protocol to NEAR Protocol

Converting COW to NEAR on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit COW from Gnosis Chain
Go to the Deposit tab and select CoW Protocol (COW) on Gnosis Chain. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your COW there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on Gnosis Chain, your COW balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap COW to NEAR on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick COW as the source and NEAR as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw NEAR to NEAR
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select NEAR Protocol (NEAR) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose NEAR as the destination. Enter an address from a NEAR wallet such as NEAR Mobile or Meteor and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the COWNEAR swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your COW leaves Gnosis Chain and NEAR arrives on NEAR. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is NEAR on NEAR, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Both COW and NEAR float against the dollar, so the COW/NEAR rate moves with two markets at once. Traders use this pair to rotate between ecosystems in a single step instead of selling to a stablecoin first.

About CoW Protocol and NEAR Protocol

What is CoW Protocol (COW)?

CoW Protocol grew out of Gnosis Protocol, and its token launched in early 2022 when CoW DAO was spun off from Gnosis. The name refers to 'coincidence of wants', the moment two traders' orders can be matched directly.

How CoW Protocol works

Users sign orders expressing what they want to trade; competing solvers then settle them in batches at uniform prices, matching opposite orders peer-to-peer and routing the rest through on-chain liquidity. This design protects traders from front-running and sandwich attacks. The DAO also operates CoW Swap and MEV Blocker.

What COW is used for

COW holders vote on CoW DAO proposals, and solvers that settle batches post bonds that include COW. The token also trades on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain venues.

COW supply

The genesis supply was 1 billion COW; the token contract allows the DAO to mint at most 3% additional supply per year if governance approves it.

Before you swap COW

Here COW is delivered on Gnosis Chain, where fees are paid in xDAI, not ETH. If you need it on Ethereum, bridge it separately after the swap.

What is NEAR Protocol (NEAR)?

NEAR Protocol is a smart contract platform co-founded by Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov, with its mainnet going live in 2020. The network focuses on usability, offering human-readable account names such as alice.near instead of long hexadecimal addresses. It is also the chain behind NEAR Intents, the cross-chain swap system that NEAR Mobile Swap uses.

How NEAR Protocol works

Validators stake NEAR in a Proof of Stake system to produce blocks and confirm transactions. Nightshade sharding splits the network into parallel shards that process transactions side by side, which lets capacity grow as more shards are added.

What NEAR is used for

NEAR is spent on transaction fees and contract storage, and it is delegated to validators by holders who want staking rewards. Developers also use the chain for decentralized apps, AI agents and chain abstraction tools that operate across several blockchains.

NEAR supply

NEAR started with a genesis supply of one billion tokens and has no hard cap. New tokens are minted each epoch to reward validators, with the maximum annual inflation rate halved from 5% to 2.5% in October 2025, while 70% of transaction fees are burned.

Before you swap NEAR

When withdrawing to NEAR, you can send to a named account (like name.near) or to a 64-character implicit account, so check you have the correct one. Keep a little NEAR in your wallet to cover gas and storage for future transactions.

What to know before swapping CoW Protocol for NEAR Protocol

Deposit COW from Gnosis Chain into NEAR Intents, swap it for NEAR, then withdraw NEAR to your wallet on NEAR. The widget on this page walks you through all three steps and shows the exact amount you will receive before you confirm.
