The decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has launched on the Solana network, offering users MEV-protected swaps and new tools for developers. The integration includes open-source smart contracts and intent-based trading. In the near future, the project plans to launch cross-chain operations between Solana and other networks.
1inch Launches on Solana
It is now expected that users can execute trades using Fusion technology and an intent-based trading architecture. The protocol allows users to set exchange parameters, after which professional market makers, known as resolvers, compete to fulfill the order through a Dutch auction mechanism. The exchange rate starts high and gradually decreases until one of the resolvers accepts the deal.
The solution aims to reduce slippage and optimize trading conditions by aggregating liquidity.
Technical Features of the Integration
According to the announcement, the 1inch integration with Solana provides protection against maximum extractable value (MEV) attacks when swapping more than 1 million tokens within the Solana ecosystem. This is achieved through open-source smart contracts and trading based on user intent rather than fixed routes.
Additionally, six APIs from 1inch are now available on Solana, expanding the possibilities for developers to create applications and services based on decentralized exchanges.
DeFi Activity Growth on Solana
According to Dune Analytics, in the first quarter of 2025, Solana led in DEX trading volume, number of transactions, and active users. The network outperformed other blockchains in key activity metrics in the decentralized finance sector.
Against this backdrop of growth, 1inch plans to launch cross-chain swaps in the coming months between Solana and ten other supported networks to merge Solana’s liquidity with the broader DeFi ecosystem.
1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz stated that the integration with Solana is a step toward unifying various blockchains into a single infrastructure.
