1inch Expands to Solana
The most significant update was 1inch’s integration with Solana, a high-performance blockchain renowned for its speed and scalability. This expansion allows users to:

- Enjoy MEV-protected transactions with competitive rates.
- Leverage Fusion Protocol for intent-based swaps, where resolvers (professional market makers) execute orders via Dutch auctions.
🔹 Why Solana?
Solana’s rapid block times enhance 1inch’s auction-based model, ensuring faster, cost-efficient trades compared to slower networks.
🔹 Cross-Chain Swaps Coming Soon
1inch plans to enable swaps between Solana and other supported blockchains, further bridging DeFi ecosystems.
