Plain English
1inch is the leading DEX aggregator for Ethereum and EVM chains, founded in 2019. Routes orders across Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, Sushiswap, and 300+ other DEX sources to find best execution. 1INCH is the platform token.
How it actually works
Pathfinder routing algorithm splits orders across multiple pools to minimize slippage. 1inch Fusion offers intent-based swaps with MEV protection — professional resolvers compete to fill your order. Available on 10+ chains. The 1inch Wallet (separate product) integrates the same routing.
What it means for you
For any EVM swap above small size, always check 1inch alongside the destination DEX. The savings from optimal routing routinely exceed gas costs and become meaningful at HNW size. 1inch Fusion specifically protects against sandwich attacks and MEV — important for sensitive trades.
