What is 1inch?

The 1inch Network brings together distributed protocols that, when combined, make DeFi enterprise profitable, fast, and the most secure it can be.

To provide consumers with better prices than any specific exchange, 1inch Network's initial protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator solution that finds deals across different liquidity sources. For locating optimal routes among 240+ liquidity sources on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimistic Ethereum, Arbitrum, Fantom, and Gnosis Chain, the 1inch Aggregation Protocol makes use of the Pathfinder algorithm. The 1inch DEX aggregator has amassed 1 million members and $150 billion in total volume on the Ethereum network in less than two years.

In order to prevent consumers from being subjected to front-running assaults, the 1inch Liquidity Protocol was developed as a cutting-edge AMM. This protocol also presents lucrative opportunities for liquidity providers.

In DeFi, the 1inch Limit Order Protocol allows for innovative and adaptable swaps of limit orders. Several use cases are enabled by the protocol's capabilities, such as stop-loss and trailing stop orders, auctions, conditional orders, and dynamic pricing.

The 1inch Wallet is a secure mobile platform that allows users to store, transact, and stake digital assets across many blockchains in an intuitive interface. In order to make using 1inch's features as simple as possible, this adaptable wallet was developed from the ground up.

Using a DAO-style voting system, the 1inch Network's governance token (1INCH) determines several aspects of the protocol.
