Description

Documents fast-path orders (out-of-competition execution): a concept page, a mention in the order lifecycle, and the appData reference fields for opting in. Written acc to final state in cowprotocol/services#4883.

Changes

  • New concept page under Order types: what fast-path orders are, how they settle, when to use them, and how to opt in.
  • Short mention and link added to the "Flow of an order" page.
  • appData reference bumped to schema v1.16.0 so enableFastPath and validFrom render.

Note

The appData reference pins @cowprotocol/sdk-app-data@6.1.0/schemas/v1.16.0.json (the fast-path schema). Exact version needs to be confirmed once the cow-sdk PR merges

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added documentation explaining fast-path orders, including eligibility requirements, opt-in steps, exclusivity windows, settlement flow, and fallback to batch auctions.
    • Clarified fast-path orders as an exception to the standard batch-auction order flow, including their trade-offs and immediate settlement behavior.
    • Documented how fast-path orders interact with validFrom and the conditions that prevent eligibility.
    • Updated the AppData schema reference to the latest SDK version and schema.

The documentation is broadly usable, but the schema viewer is blank and integrators may misunderstand how to configure validFrom.

4. The winning solver settles it directly, outside the batch, within a short
exclusivity window (the order's `validFrom`).

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Define validFrom as the batch-eligibility boundary.

validFrom is the earliest Unix-seconds timestamp at which an order may enter a batch auction. It is read from the order's appData; it is not the exclusivity window itself. The winning fast-path solver may settle the order before validFrom, and the order becomes batch-eligible at that timestamp.

The /quote request accepts appData and fastPath, but it has no separate validFrom field. The integrator must include validFrom in appData when a lower bound is needed; the quote flow does not populate it separately. Update the flow and enabling sections to state this.
