1inch Expands Cross-Chain Capabilities and Updates Protocol

1inch has integrated with Solana as part of its ongoing expansion, aiming to improve cross-chain liquidity and transaction efficiency. The protocol update includes a new price route discovery algorithm, promising enhanced swap rates.

Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch, emphasized the importance of scalability and regulatory alignment at the WEF Davos panel, underlining the project’s commitment to integrating DeFi into the traditional financial ecosystem.

“Sustainable crypto growth is about integrating DeFi services into the fabric of the broader financial ecosystem, focusing on scalability and regulatory alignment.” – Sergej Kunz, Co-Founder, 1inch

The integration sees increased daily transactions and active addresses, suggesting a positive community response. The decision reflects 1inch’s strategy to solidify its position as a leading DEX aggregator.

Stakeholders anticipate enhanced liquidity and financial benefits as the new algorithm improves swap rates by up to 6.5%. The increase in staked 1INCH tokens signals growing confidence among users and emphasizes participation in governance through the DAO.

1inch has previously expanded onto other chains, such as Polygon, resulting in increased user growth and volumes. The recovery from a May security exploit further bolstered trust within the community.

Experts from Kanalcoin suggest these moves potentially reinforce 1inch’s competitive edge in the DeFi landscape, providing a robust foundation for future growth and adaptability across ecosystems.
