1inch APIs now cover Monad, Cronos, HyperEVM and Arc. Same account, same API key, same SDKs. Swap, Balance, Spot Price, Token, Portfolio and Web3 RPC APIs, availability varies by network. Adding a chain should not mean rebuilding your stack.

Opening an Aqua position used to mean leaving the AI agent, opening the browser tab and clicking through. Now you can stay in your AI ecosystem and tell the agent what position you want to open. It brings back the range and the opening price. If you agree with it, your wallet asks you to sign. Later you can ask how that position is doing, or tell it to close. The tokens sit in your wallet the whole time. Closing follows the same loop. Stay in the chat. Name the position. Confirm. Sign. It stops quoting and cannot be undone. Nothing to withdraw: the tokens never left your wallet. “Preview an Aqua USDC/WETH position on Ethereum for my connected wallet, then create it after I confirm the range.” “Close my Aqua USDC/WETH position on Ethereum.”

Every 1inch API supports @Arc from day one. Arc is a new EVM Layer 1 built for stablecoin finance. Builders on it get the full 1inch stack at launch: Swap API with intent-based execution and MEV protection, cross-chain swaps into Arc with no bridge, limit orders and Portfolio data. Aqua is live on Arc too: shared liquidity open to builders and LPs from day one.

Blockchains are getting busier and cheaper at once. Ethereum: 68% more transactions year over year, cost down from $1.08 to $0.31. Solana: 9.8 bln transactions at half a cent. What cheap blockspace opens up for builders, from perps to agent-driven apps:

Solady, CreateX and the 1inch deployer share the same 16 bytes of CREATE3 proxy code. Deploy with the same salt and you still get three different addresses. Annotated bytecode plus the salt and ownership rules that explain why.

CREATE3 is not an opcode. It is a pattern built from CREATE and CREATE2, and the address it produces depends on three things, not one. Part 1 of our series covers what a CREATE3 address actually depends on.
