The decentralized aggregator 1inch has expanded the functionality of its platform by integrating the Unichain network, which operates on the OP Stack. This opens up new opportunities for users to exchange tokens under favorable conditions, as well as broadens access to liquidity and asset management tools.

Benefits of Unichain Integration with 1inch
From now on, users can perform token swaps on the Unichain network directly through the 1inch dApp, 1inch Wallet, and the platform’s API. This allows for operations across more than 12 networks with dual protection against MEV bots, enhancing the security and efficiency of exchanges. The integration also provides access to additional liquidity and enables real-time display of balances and positions on Uniswap in the 1inch Wallet and 1inch Portfolio.
- Optimal token swap rates in both on-chain and cross-chain formats.
- Instant exchanges thanks to sub-blocks with confirmation times of up to 200 milliseconds and the use of OP Stack.
- Dual protection against MEV bots through 1inch’s Fusion solutions and block formation with TEE in Unichain.
- Full support in the 1inch Wallet mobile app and via API.
- Instant balance updates on Uniswap in the 1inch Portfolio.
“Unichain perfectly fits into our concept of a fully integrated, cross-chain DeFi infrastructure,” said Sergey Kuntz, co-founder of 1inch. “Instant exchanges, native MEV protection, and the deep liquidity of Unichain, now available through 1inch, allow us to push the boundaries of cross-chain trading capabilities. We provide users with the best trade execution on a single platform.”
Unichain: Network Features and Development Dynamics
The Unichain mainnet was launched in February 2025. Thanks to a second-layer solution based on OP Stack, the network offers fast and cheap transactions while being fully compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem. As of mid-June 2025, the total value locked (TVL) in Unichain exceeded $832 million, highlighting a significant level of trust from users and investors.
The integration with 1inch allows traders to perform token swaps on the Unichain network or between it and other EVM-compatible platforms at the most favorable rates. Users also have access to convenient solutions for storing and managing assets through the 1inch Wallet and 1inch Portfolio. Additionally, all swaps are further protected against MEV attacks, reinforced by the use of TEE technology in block formation on Unichain.
Support for Stablecoins and Opportunities for Developers
Unichain is marked by high activity in stablecoin transactions. From March to June 2025, the total market capitalization of stablecoins in the network reached $344.2 million, with over 51% issued directly on Unichain. This indicates trust in the platform from professional traders, as well as low fees that make frequent transactions profitable and accessible.
The integration also extends to the 1inch Developer Portal, where developers can connect to Unichain via API and access Fusion, Fusion+, order books, and more.
Supported Protocols
After the integration, 1inch supports key DeFi solutions within the Unichain ecosystem, including WETH, Uniswap V2, V3, and V4. This move further strengthens 1inch’s position as a leading aggregator that unites DeFi ecosystems on a single platform. Token swaps through Unichain and over 12 other networks are already available to 1inch users.
