$100 million+ in swap volume through Aqua. 17 days in.
Sometimes, you only see a better way once there’s an alternative. With Aqua, DeFi now has shared liquidity. And the industry is starting to wake up to it.
You say what you want. Solvers compete to give it to you. That's what intents deliver. @alexeiZamyatin and @deacix of @1inch on why intent-based trading is one of the biggest UX leaps DeFi has seen. P.S. Both BOB and 1inch are intent-based.

This one hurts. POAP and @1inch both began their journeys on the Ethereum Hackathon circuit back in 2019. Over the years, we've created more than 100 POAPs for our community, from @ETHGlobal hackathons and conferences to community polls and incentives. POAPs captured a unique moment in crypto culture and, like us, believed in the onchain vision of the world and its ability to connect. Wishing @poapxyz and the entire team all the best for what's next. Sharing a throwback with @worthalter.

After 5+ years, we're winding down POAP. Over the years, we: * minted millions of collectibles across hundreds of communities. * did incredible collaborations with world-class organizations - Coinbase, Amex, WMG, Bayer, and a long tail of others, including countless in crypto. * ran one of the biggest activations at Devcon, minting 8000+ collectibles over the course of a week. * built an Airport Rally to let collectors get POAPs at airports around the world. POAP meant something to a lot of people. Unfortunately, crypto's funding cycles and distribution dynamics made it hard to build a sustainable company without cannibalizing the ethos that made POAP mean something. Building on a fragile and quickly evolving stack, in the middle of an incredible hype cycle, only added to the challenges. Still, there are some big lessons I am carrying from the POAP story. First: Customer communities are the most undervalued asset a company can have. If you build something with soul, people who use it and love it will take your brand everywhere. Do not underestimate the power of customer communities. Second: Connection is still the point. It's easy to lose that thread when the conversation is about the latest bubbly tech or price speculation, but the people using POAPs at events, in classrooms, at hackathons were getting something real out of it. Third: Longevity and brand equity are the only moats left. With the time to building and shipping something new collapsing quickly, and distribution becoming increasingly an engineering problem, customers increasingly want to make sure they can trust that the things they are buying will grow and evolve with the market, without changing radically. Grateful for everyone who believed in what we were building. It's too soon for me to say what's next, but for now, I'm thinking a lot about what GTM looks like in the age of AI.

When everything routes through one swap layer - who actually wins? @alexeiZamyatin sits down with @deacix, co-founder of @1inch. 🗓️ August 5th, 11am UTC 🔗

Aqua isn't just another AMM! There are no deposits or pools. But how? 1inch Aqua keeps a virtual balance for each position. When a provider opens a position, no tokens move; Aqua just records how much of the existing token allowance is allocated to that position. When a swap fills, tokens transfer directly from the provider's wallet to the swapper in one atomic transaction. If the wallet can't cover the fill at that moment, the whole transaction reverts. There are no partial fills and no protocol debt. Want to understand more about this innovation, check out our Learn section.

Happy 11th birthday, @ethereum. The impact of Ethereum cannot be overstated. Without it, DeFi wouldn't be where it is today, and @1inch wouldn't exist. Back in 2019, we built the first DEX aggregator on Ethereum. Seven years later, when we launched Aqua, the first shared liquidity layer, we once again chose the Ethereum ecosystem. It remains second to none for builders. Happy birthday, Ethereum. Here's to the next 11 years.
