1inch Network continues its aggressive multi-chain expansion, officially integrating Solana into its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregation platform on April 29, 2025. This strategic move opens up access to over 1 million Solana-native tokens, significantly enhancing liquidity and trading opportunities for users across the DeFi space.
Unlocking Solana’s DeFi Potential
With Solana now supported, traders on 1inch can securely swap millions of tokens issued natively on the network. The integration draws liquidity from all major Solana DEXs, ensuring traders receive the best available swap rates with minimal slippage.
According to 1inch, the platform’s maximal extractable value (MEV) protections are also extended to Solana trades, shielding users from front-running attacks and enhancing overall market fairness. “Now, more than 1 mln tokens issued on Solana are available on 1inch for secure, MEV-protected swaps at the best rates,” the team announced on X (formerly Twitter).
Moreover, users will benefit from 1inch’s advanced Dutch auction-based swap algorithm, designed to minimize price slippage and create a more efficient trading environment for both buyers and sellers.
Impact on the Solana Ecosystem
The integration of 1inch is expected to significantly boost Solana’s DeFi landscape. By aggregating liquidity across multiple exchanges, 1inch helps stabilize markets, reduce volatility, and create deeper liquidity pools, all of which are critical for a thriving DeFi ecosystem.
“By efficiently aggregating all liquidity available on the market, 1inch minimizes slippage and ensures the best possible rates for swaps,” the platform emphasized.
Given the size and scope of Solana’s DeFi activity — recently surpassing Ethereum in DEX trading volume — the addition of a major aggregator like 1inch could further accelerate Solana’s growth and adoption.
1inch’s Growing Blockchain Footprint
With this integration, Solana becomes the fourteenth blockchain supported by 1inch, joining an impressive roster that includes:
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Polygon (MATIC)
- Fantom (FTM)
- Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
Solana-native tokens are now also accessible through the 1inch Wallet app, providing users with mobile-friendly trading solutions.
The move reflects a broader trend of interoperability across blockchains, as DeFi platforms seek to offer users seamless access to assets and liquidity, regardless of the underlying network.
Looking Ahead
The addition of Solana to 1inch’s ecosystem marks a significant milestone, not only for the platform but for the broader DeFi market. As traders and developers gain easier access to Solana’s vast token ecosystem, the potential for innovation, trading volume growth, and liquidity optimization is enormous.
With robust protections, competitive rates, and a commitment to decentralization, 1inch’s latest expansion is poised to strengthen both its platform and Solana’s fast-growing DeFi economy.
