🆕 New Developments

💻 Viem & Wagmi Migration • Snapshot vote live Dec 15

Bleu's xDAI grant to migrate CoW Swap frontend from Web3React to Viem + Wagmi posted to Snapshot. Removes aging unmaintained library, fixes wallet connection flakiness, adds native EIP-6963 support. 10-week timeline. Snapshot Vote | Forum Thread

🔗 Block Explorer Integration • Onboarded Dec 10

CoBuilders confirmed receipt of onboarding details and starting development Dec 15. Payment address and points of contact established (Sov for process, mfw78 for technical review). Forum Thread

📢 Boring Security Re-application • Rejected Dec 11

Education grant resubmission denied for same reasons as July 2025. Conversion tracking absent, doesn't align with current grant priorities. Applicant thanked committee for quick response and feedback. Forum Thread

💻 Documentation PR Submitted • Awaiting review

mfw78 submitted PR #571 to update docs.cow.fi RFP link. Now points directly to the rfp tag on forum rather than template page. NotSoFormal escalated internally—marketing team to review by Dec 16. GitHub PR #571

💻 Bleu Offline Mode Repo Created

cowdao-grants/offline-mode repository set up with Bleu team (lgahdl, ribeirojose, bsvalverde, yvesfracari) added as maintainers. Development workflow established: feature → develop → main with reviewer tags on main merges.

💼 Operations: Multisig Consolidation

NotSoFormal flagged that foundation accounting would be simpler with single address instead of GC + Mainnet split. Agreed to address in next CIP rather than mid-cycle change.


🚧 In Progress

🔗 CCXT Integration Grant • Payment under review

mfw78 spent 3+ hours reviewing the connector code. Found AI-generated code with minimal testing, no use of existing CoW SDKs (cow-sdk or cow-py), requiring reimplementation of critical cryptographic functions. PR merge to CCXT repo uncertain—maintainers requesting partner fees. mfw78 recommending 20-30% haircut on final payout due to unmerged PR and testing deficiencies. Attempting to rescue via partner fee negotiation.
