The 1inch Foundation has made massive strides in securing all areas of its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregation platform. It has drastically increased the platform’s capabilities. To note, 1inch has made a recent investment of about $500,000 in security audits for its most recent cross-chain swap rollout. This action underscores their deep dedication to protecting users’ safety and their platform’s integrity. Now, the platform powers fast, easy, and secure cross-chain swaps between 13 supported blockchains. It has future plans to add many more chains too! 1inch is on a mission to help a wider variety of digital assets thrive. This spans the gamut from Bitcoin-like coins to more recent protocols like Sui and Aptos. Sergi Kunz, Co-Founder of 1inch, shared insights into the company's evolving DEX aggregation strategies, its focus on user empowerment, and its ambitious plans for future development.

Security Investments and Cross-Chain Expansion

The 1inch Foundation's substantial investment in security underscores its dedication to providing a secure and reliable platform for its users. This investment funded the creation of a suite of comprehensive security audits, performed by 10 different security firms. These audits are critical in identifying and fixing potential exploitable vulnerabilities in the code. Better yet, they allow users to do cross-chain swaps with the confidence that nobody will exploit them.

1inch now facilitates cross-chain swaps over 13 blockchains. The good news is that the team is diligently working to bring more and more chains into its ecosystem. This expansion is a big step toward providing users more flexibility when it comes to using a broader range of digital assets. The platform is designed to be asset agnostic, including support for assets like Bitcoin “coins.” It welcomes new protocols such as Sui and Aptos, demonstrating its forward-looking commitment to building a diverse and accessible DeFi ecosystem.

1inch’s approach has been to onboard one chain at a time, building out its network and functionality in a more strategic fashion. Making that possible is the recent integration of Solana, a major milestone. Now, users can take advantage of the unique high-speed offerings of the Solana ecosystem. 1inch is deeply researching the integration of Bitcoin—so stay tuned! This decision will make it a natural choice to cement its status as the top DEX aggregator.

Focus on User Empowerment and Community

Sergej Kunz, Co-Founder of 1inch highlighted the importance of empowering users, which is at the heart of 1inch’s mission. 1inch Network provides users with better prices and the most profitable trading routes available across multiple DEXs. This enables them to take smarter, data-informed decisions and execute winning trading strategies in the most efficient way. The platform’s simple yet robust interface, along with its abundant features, ensures a smooth and empowering trading experience.

Kunz highlighted the importance of vibrant communities in the DeFi space. He emphasized the potential for community-driven successes such as Curve, MakerDAO, Compound, and Chainlink to serve as strong examples of what can be built. 1inch has been, and continues to be, committed to developing a thriving community around its platform. Alongside this, it places a premium on collaboration and integration with other projects in the ecosystem.

Kunz’s presentation at ETHDenver in 2022 drove home the point that security still needed to be prioritized in the DeFi space. The presentation highlighted the importance of strong security practices to keep users safe and avoid potential exploits. 1inch’s dedication to security, as shown through its deep investments in audits and security infrastructure, makes a perfect fit with this message.

Regulatory Landscape and Future Plans

As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, 1inch is keeping a close eye on developments within the cryptocurrency industry. The company recognizes the importance of compliance and is committed to operating within the bounds of applicable laws and regulations.

Sergej Kunz shared how he likes his weekly passive income payouts under the form of USDC. This is a testament to the incredible potential DeFi platforms have afforded people the chance to earn passive income. This is what DeFi can do to truly empower the people. It expands their ability to create their own wealth.
