What is 1INCH?
Founders and launch
Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov created 1inch at a New York hackathon in May 2019. Its first product aggregated liquidity across decentralized exchanges. The system can split a trade among multiple sources to improve execution. The 1INCH token launched on December 25, 2020.
Protocols and resolvers
The network includes aggregation, limit-order and intent-based trading infrastructure. Fusion lets a user specify a swap while competing resolvers provide execution. Resolvers cover the associated transaction gas rather than requiring the user to hold that chain's native fee asset. Fusion+ extends the intent model to supported cross-chain swaps. Resolver access and priority use the 1INCH token's staking and delegation arrangements.
Governance and locking
Staking creates voting power for the 1inch DAO. The staking system represents this influence through Unicorn Power and the applicable staking receipt. Holders can delegate to governance participants or supported resolvers. Governance directs treasury proposals and other approved network decisions. Withdrawing before a chosen locking period ends can incur a penalty.
Issuance
The genesis issuance was 1.5 billion 1INCH. The Foundation removed the minting function in April 2022, preventing issuance above that limit. Allocated tokens were distributed through community incentives and other release schedules. The token is available on Ethereum and BNB Chain, while trading services operate across a wider set of supported networks.
