Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

1 Inch

About Portfolio

1inch Network is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator in the DeFi ecosystem, launched in 2019 by smart contract experts Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov. It automatically splits token swaps across hundreds of liquidity sources across multiple blockchains (including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana, Sonic, Unichain, and more) to secure the best possible rates while minimizing gas fees.

The ecosystem includes:

  • Aggregation Protocol with the Pathfinder algorithm for optimal routing.

  • Liquidity Protocol (AMM) designed to protect against front-running.

  • Limit Order Protocol for decentralized, gas-efficient limit orders.

  • Fusion mode – a "gasless" swap feature with MEV protection, relying on professional resolvers.

  • Support tools like the 1inch Wallet, Portfolio dashboard, and a Developer Portal.

Governance & Token Utility

The native 1INCH token is used for DAO governance, staking, and earning rewards. Introduced in December 2020, it plays a key role in the Fusion protocol and allows holders to participate in protocol decisions through instant governance mechanisms.

Key Milestones & Ecosystem Growth

  • In June 2025, 1inch released an upgraded version of the Pathfinder algorithm, delivering up to 6.5% better swap rates.

  • Announced the Unite DeFi Hackathon with a $525,000 prize pool and initiated a bug bounty program of up to $500,000.

  • Integrated with hundreds of DEXs and DeFi protocols, offering billions in total trade volume and millions of users.
