First rule of DeFi security? Know what you’re signing.

Blind signing is like approving a contract you can’t read.

If nothing is clear, nothing is visible.

That’s how users lose assets or grant permissions by mistake.

We’re proud that our swap aggregator was named ‘Best DEX’ at the BeInCrypto Awards 2025.

Thank you to everyone who voted, to the judges, and to all the partners building with us.

1inch was built on our Aggregator protocol, and it remains the foundation of everything we do today.

This is a big step forward for cross-chain settlement - from one of the best data providers out there.

Dig into the details here

2025 was a defining year for 1inch.

We reinvented DeFi liquidity.
We expanded cross-chain infrastructure.
We refreshed our brand as the industry matured.
And we kept building the ecosystem around our products.

◼️ 1inch Aqua

Aqua is a shared liquidity layer designed to improve capital efficiency.
It allows liquidity to be deployed across multiple strategies while remaining in the user’s wallet.
The developer release shipped in November.
A full launch is planned for 2026.

◼️ Our new look

Clean, simple and efficient: we’re here to make your DeFi life work smarter and more effectively, without distractions. The unicorn’s still there if you look, though…

◼️ Infrastructure expansion

Solana was our biggest integration milestone.
We built the first trustless cross-chain swaps between Solana and EVM networks.
This enables users to access Solana assets across 1inch products and move value safely between ecosystems.
We also expanded EVM support with Linea, Sonic, and Unichain.

◼️ Interoperability through partnerships

In 2025, we deepened collaborations across DeFi and beyond, including:
Ledger, Safe Wallet, Coinbase, Barter, HashPort, Innerworks, Flowdesk, and Rango Exchange.
The goal remains the same: connect the ecosystem rather than fragment it.

◼️ Builders first

Together with ETHGlobal, we launched the Unite DeFi online hackathon.
1,120 hackers competed for $525,000 in bounties.
Offline, we showed up globally.
From Davos and ETHGlobal Taipei to TOKEN2049, DevConnect Argentina, and our own Unite DeFi conference.

◼️ And the core was still the best swap aggregator in DeFi

115 million swaps powered in 2025.

Thanks for sharing 2025 with us.

In 2026, let’s move forward as 1”

DeFi security innovation never stops, and teaming up with AI auditing specialists like SavantChat is just one of the ways we’re pushing it forward:

Christmas is a good moment to pause, look around, and spend more time with the people closest to you - family, relatives, and friends.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

See you on the other side of the Christmas tree 🎄

Welcome, DeFi adventurer.
The story of your journey through 2025 is ready.

In crypto, there are no save slots.
Let’s see how you played this year.

Sick of your family already? Bored of explaining liquidity to your least funny uncle?

Hide in your room and squeeze your brain through some 1inch-themed puzzles instead.

You love to discover DeFi projects. Sometimes, that means tokens so new, we haven’t listed them yet.

1inch Wallet now automatically detects your custom tokens, and lets you add them to your private wallet - or remove them - in one tap.

Why does this matter?

🔗 No more manual searching or entering contract addresses.

🔗 Fewer chances to make mistakes.

🔗 More efficient token management.

But remember - don’t trust, verify.

Stop choosing between security and swap efficiency. Get both.

With OneKey’s integration of the 1inch Swap API, secure self-custody comes together with best-price execution — in a single, seamless flow.

Here’s how the collaboration works 👇

DeFi security is built on partnerships.

We work closely with the brilliant ChainPatrol team to protect you from bad actors trying to exploit the 1inch brand, taking down fake dApps, phishing attempts and more.

2025’s results speak for themselves.

Rewardy Wallet now supports 1inch Swap API across five chains.

Rewardysusers get optimized routing, global liquidity, and - here's the part that matters - gas paid in $RWD through EIP-7702. You don't need ETH to use Ethereum. You don't need BNB to swap on BNB Chain.

That's not clever UX. That's just how it should work.

This might surprise you right now - but 72% of DeFi users expect crypto to do well in 2026.

We surveyed over 8,000 people across the ecosystem. U.S. users are among the most optimistic - 82%.

Short-term noise doesn’t change the long-term outlook.

January focused on reach.

Rewardy Wallet and OneKey Wallet integrated the 1inch Swap API:

▪️ Rewardy brings gamified rewards and cashback to swaps

▪️ OneKey adds hardware wallet security with multi-chain support across 100+ blockchains

Both integrations expand access to 1inch liquidity - one focused on incentivized trading, the other on secure self-custody:

Full recap 👇🏻

Moving liquidity across DeFi pools has hidden costs.

Transaction fees, slippage, impermanent loss crystallization, approval overhead - each reallocation step adds friction. For active LPs, these costs compound quickly.

The root cause: liquidity is fragmented across pools and protocols. Every move means closing one position before opening another.

We broke down the mechanics of reallocation friction and how shared liquidity layers can reduce it:

You're swapping $10,000 USDC for ETH.

You expect: 5.10 ETH

You receive: 4.98 ETH

Missing: $235 😬

Yummy for the bot. Dummy tax for you. That's how sandwich attacks work 🤷‍♂️
