HI all,

Never heard of CoW until today. I’m invested in a project and a large buy just occurred with this TX: [Ethereum Transaction Hash: 0x7ed199be84... | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x7ed199be84252ce23b9e43a4eda51a4f0b113eb495e1187be5f480d4e1ec7a1c)

I’m trying to simply understand what happened here. From how I read this, the coins were purchased but, sent back to the contract… The “From” Address: 0x0DdcB0769a3591230cAa80F85469240b71442089 doesn’t hold any of the Hedgefi tokens as I would have expected and in fact, the ERC20 tab shows transactions from 9 days ago.

Can someone help explain what is going on here? Thank you!

Hi, I’d generally recommend for things that are seemingly like a support request / technical discussion (not related to CoW Protocol technical development), to direct these questions to the CoW Protocol discord. You will get much better turn-around time there for feedback to questions such as these.

OK. I’ll do that.. The last discord link I used was broken… I’ll try to find another.
