1inch Boosts DeFi Trading with Uniswap’s Unichain Integration
In a major step forward for decentralized finance (DeFi), 1inch, the premier decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator, has integrated Uniswap’s Unichain into its platform. Announced on June 25, 2025, this development enhances 1inch’s ecosystem, enabling users to tap into Unichain’s fast transactions, robust Miner Extractable Value (MEV) protection, and competitive swap rates. This move solidifies 1inch’s position as a leader in cross-chain DeFi trading, supporting a wide range of blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon.
What Does Unichain Bring to 1inch Users?
The integration of Unichain into 1inch’s ecosystem introduces several benefits for traders and DeFi enthusiasts:
- Lightning-Fast Transactions: Unichain’s optimized infrastructure ensures near-instant swap execution, improving user experience.
- Enhanced MEV Protection: Unichain’s native MEV safeguards protect users from value extraction by miners, ensuring fairer trades.
- Competitive Swap Rates: By aggregating Unichain’s liquidity pools, 1inch offers some of the best rates for token swaps.
- Comprehensive Asset Management: Users can now store, manage, and track Unichain assets seamlessly using the 1inch Wallet and monitor their portfolio via the 1inch Portfolio dashboard.
All Uniswap balances and liquidity pools on Unichain are now fully integrated into the 1inch Portfolio, providing users with a unified view of their assets across multiple blockchains.
A Vision for Seamless Cross-Chain DeFi
Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch, emphasized the significance of this integration: “Unichain aligns perfectly with our mission to create a seamless, multi-chain DeFi ecosystem. By combining Unichain’s high-speed swaps, deep liquidity, and built-in MEV protection with 1inch’s aggregation capabilities, we’re delivering unparalleled trading efficiency to our users.”
This integration marks one of 1inch’s most significant updates since its Solana integration, further expanding its reach across the DeFi landscape. With support for dozens of blockchain networks, 1inch continues to bridge the gap between fragmented DeFi ecosystems, making cross-chain trading more accessible and efficient.
Developer Opportunities with Unichain
The integration extends beyond trading and asset management. Developers can now leverage Unichain through the 1inch Developer Portal, which provides APIs for swapping tokens, fetching wallet balances, and tracking transaction history on Unichain. This opens up new possibilities for building DeFi applications that harness Unichain’s capabilities within the 1inch ecosystem.
Why This Matters for DeFi
The addition of Unichain to 1inch’s supported blockchains underscores the growing importance of cross-chain interoperability in DeFi. As more users and developers adopt multi-chain strategies, platforms like 1inch are pivotal in providing tools to navigate this complex landscape. By integrating Unichain, 1inch not only enhances its offerings but also sets a new standard for speed, security, and cost-efficiency in decentralized trading.
For those looking to explore DeFi trading, the 1inch platform and its newly integrated Unichain support offer a powerful combination of tools to optimize your trading experience.
