1inch

A DEX aggregator and DeFi platform — routes swaps across hundreds of liquidity sources for best execution, with Fusion intent-based mode and Pulse self-custody wallet.

1inch is one of the original DEX aggregators (2019). The Pathfinder algorithm splits each swap across many AMMs and order books to minimize slippage and MEV exposure. Fusion mode lets users sign intent-style limit orders that resolvers compete to fill, similar to UniswapX and CoW Protocol.

1inch also operates the 1inch Wallet, a self-custodial mobile wallet, and the 1INCH governance token. The protocol is deployed across Ethereum, every major L2, BNB Chain, and many other EVM chains.
