1Inch is a decentralized exchange aggregator that scans multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to find the best trading rates for its users. Founded in 2019, the platform has quickly gained traction in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It offers a range of protocols and features aimed at optimizing and securing trades for users.
Core Protocols
Aggregation Protocol
The Aggregation Protocol is the backbone of 1Inch. It aggregates liquidity from various DEXs to ensure users get the best swap rates. The protocol uses a sophisticated algorithm to route trades through multiple exchanges, optimizing for factors like slippage, fees, and gas costs.
Limit Order Protocol
1Inch’s Limit Order Protocol offers a flexible limit order functionality. Unlike traditional DEXs, where limit orders are often not supported, this protocol allows users to set specific conditions for their trades, enhancing the trading experience.
