🦄🛒 Black Friday is coming and there is no way we could stand aside.

💥 BOOM! The 1inch Foundation announces the Black Friday Week, during which users will receive refunds on gas fees.

📜These are the rules:

💰 500K 1INCH tokens will be distributed among users making at least one swap via 1inch between November 22 and 26.

📥 Refunds will come in the form of 5K vouchers with a value of 100 1INCH each in a Merkle drop on Ethereum.

🎲 Voucher recipients will be determined randomly.

🗓 The tokens will be distributed at the end of the month, alongside the ⛽️ gas refunds.

👥 Users ennoscriptd to gas refunds thanks to 1INCH staking ⛔️ will not participate, as their gas fees will be refunded anyway.

📣 ETH burned weekly update 📣

🦄🔥 1inch still takes 9th place in the TOP-10 of the ETH Burn Leaderboard!

🔷 Ethereum burned over the last 7 days - $4.5M (963.77 in ETH)

🔷 Ethereum burned in total - $47.6M (12.4K in ETH)

🦄⚖️ We’re happy to introduce an extremely significant update to 1inch Governance!

🔥 The 2nd stage of the 1inch DAO Treasury proposal implementation is live and we’re halfway through the road towards full decentralization!

📯 Let's start the festive procession as we're rolling into Stage 2!

✅ The end-goal of it is for the 1inch Network protocols and the 1INCH token to be completely decentralized, owned and governed by the DAO.

➡️ More info: https://blog.1inch.io/the-road-to-decentralization-ddee58d3b198

⏰ Quick reminder: The first stage was kicked off in December 2020. 🎯 The goal was to launch the decentralization process by giving community members direct control over specified protocol settings via the Instant Governance UI.

🙏 A huge thanks to all who took the time to participate in the Stage 1 and Stage 2 1IP discussions of the 1inch Network DAO Treasury on the forums!

💰 A Gnosis Safe smart contract wallet with multi-signature (multisig) functionality on the Ethereum mainnet has been created — this address functions as the 1inch Network DAO Treasury.

👥 12 multisig owners have initially been selected by the 🏢 1inch Foundation from the core contributor team and other well-known projects such as Tornado Cash, Synthetix, Opium, NEAR protocol, and zkSync, to name a few.

🖥 With the incorporation of this Treasury upgrade, 🎁 referral rewards remain unchanged and will still be paid out in their source token on the chain they were earned.

☝️ However, the part of the revenue stream that previously went towards Governance rewards distribution, will instead 📥 be sent directly to the newly formed Treasury in the form of USDC on the Ethereum mainnet.

⚙️ In June, 1inch rolled out the integration of Snapshot into the governance process.

🗳 This upgrade makes it possible for governance participants to vote in a gasless fashion off-chain and delegate their voting weight to other addresses.

🧠 The rationale behind these voting changes is that they ensure that 👤 individuals with direct control over the protocol have a vested interest in its long-term success, while also limiting the power of backers and core contributors.

✌️ All 1inch Network contributors have never been more excited about the future of the 1inch Network. The goal is to iterate on the governance processes and move towards total decentralization.

😉 So, please be sure to stop by our governance forum and join the discussion!

📣 Here comes the last 1inch governance rewards weekly update!

🔷 ETH: collected more than $680K (175K 1INCH tokens) 🎉🥳

🔶 BSC: collected more than $226K (58K 1INCH tokens) 🎉🥳

🛡 As security is one of the most urgent concerns in the DeFi space, we at 1inch have always paid special attention to it.

🦄🎊 The 1inch team is excited to announce a successful closure of a $175M series B funding round from institutional investors, led by Amber Group.

🙌 Among about 50 investors that participated in the funding event are Jane Street, VanEck, Fenbushi Capital, Alameda Research, Celsius, Nexo, Tribe Capital and Gemini Frontier Fund.

✅ The addition of several dozen new participants to the 1inch Network is set to lead to further decentralization of the 1inch DAO, making it more democratic by allowing everyone's votes to matter.

💰 Initially, the investment target was set at $70M, but, following several developments in the space and a huge demand from valuable backers, a decision was made to 📈 increase it to $175M.

🪄 The funding will facilitate navigating in the regulatory space for DeFi in Europe and the US in a bid to onboard institutions into 1inch Pro, a compliant product for institutional customers.

🛠 The raised funds will also be spent on building new 1inch protocols, expanding the utility of the 1INCH token and scaling up the contributor team.

👥 Over the next few years, the team is expected to more than double in size.

🗓️ In December 2020, the 1inch Network attracted $12 mln from several major investors, including Pantera Capital, ParaFi Capital and Nima Capital.

In August 2020, $2.8 mln was raised from a group of institutional investors led by Binance Labs.
