About 1inch Network (1Inch)
1inch Network is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that began as a tool for swapping Ethereum-based tokens by identifying the best available rates across decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Since its launch, the platform has expanded its functionality to support additional networks, including BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Solana, allowing users to trade across multiple blockchains.
At the core of 1inch is its aggregator mechanism, which routes trades through various DEXs to secure the most favorable execution price. This process is handled by Pathfinder, a routing algorithm designed to analyze market conditions and optimize trades based on liquidity, price, and gas costs.
Throughout 2025, 1inch introduced a number of key developments. The launch of Aqua, a shared liquidity protocol, marked a shift toward capital-efficient DeFi solutions. Aqua enables multiple strategies to operate using the same pool of assets, opening new use cases for on-chain liquidity without requiring asset lockups. The protocol was made available to developers for testing and feedback, with community contributions encouraged through open bounties.
The 1inch team also carried out a strategic rebranding initiative in 2025, reflecting the project’s broader focus beyond token swaps. Announced during Token2049 in Singapore, the rebrand emphasized a long-term goal of bridging DeFi tools with traditional finance infrastructure.
The 1INCH token, launched in December 2020, serves as both a governance and utility asset. Token holders can vote on protocol-level decisions and participate in the network’s development. 1inch has a maximum supply of 1.5 billion 1INCH, with approximately 1.4 billion 1INCH currently in circulation.
