What’s 1inch All About?

If you’ve ever jumped into DeFi, you’ve probably faced this question:

“Which DEX gives me the best rate for this swap?”

Well, 1inch takes that headache away.It’s like your personal DeFi assistant, scanning across hundreds of decentralized exchanges to make sure you’re getting the best deal—automatically.

Launched back in 2019 at an ETH hackathon, 1inch started as a DEX aggregator. But today, it’s grown into a full DeFi powerhouse with its own wallet, limit orders, and even a liquidity protocol.

So, How Does It Work?

Say you’re swapping ETH for USDC. Normally, you'd have to check Uniswap, SushiSwap, Curve, and a dozen more platforms to see where the best rate is.

1inch? It does that in seconds, splitting your trade across different platforms to squeeze out the best return and lower fees. It’s smart like that.

What Makes 1inch Special?

Let’s break it down:

Smart Aggregator

It pulls prices from 400+ liquidity sources. That means better rates, less slippage, and smarter trades.

Liquidity Protocol

Yup, 1inch has its own pools where people can earn yield. Think of it as their homegrown version of Uniswap.

Limit Orders

Set buy/sell targets like you do on CEXs—but on-chain, and gasless. You don’t need to watch the market 24/7.

DeFi Wallet

Their mobile wallet isn’t just sleek. You can swap, track tokens/NFTs, and even set limit orders directly from it

Introducing: The 1inch Card

Yep, 1inch just leveled up with a real-world crypto card

The 1inch Card is a physical (and virtual) debit card that lets you spend your crypto anywhere that accepts Visa or Mastercard. You can top it up directly with tokens like USDT, USDC, or ETH from your DeFi wallet. This debit card is brought to life in collaboration with Mastercard and Baanx.

Why it matters:

  • Use crypto for everyday spending

  • Works online and in-store

  • Managed directly from the 1inch Wallet

  • No complicated bridge or fiat ramps

This is DeFi going mainstream—you earn and trade on-chain, then pay with crypto IRL.
