1inch has formed a strategic alliance with Linea, providing enhanced liquidity for 1inch users while allowing Linea to enjoy improved swap rates on decentralized exchanges (DEXes), among other advantages.
1inch, an aggregator for decentralized exchanges that facilitates 100 million trades and manages $500 billion in transaction volume, has teamed up with Linea, a speedy and cost-effective zkEVM layer 2 blockchain developed by ConsenSys.
This collaboration will enable 1inch users to tap into liquidity from DEXs built on the Linea network, offering transaction fees that are up to 16.6 times lower and processing speeds that are six times faster compared to Ethereum (ETH).
For users on Linea, this partnership means access to improved swap rates across numerous decentralized exchanges along with sophisticated trading tools. Additionally, it provides Linea users full access to 1inch’s swap solutions, particularly its Advanced Mode feature. This allows users to execute swaps at competitive rates without needing native tokens to cover gas fees, while also safeguarding against front-running (MEV) attacks. This innovative solution was recognized as the “Most Exciting DeFi Solution” at the INATBA Awards Gala in January 2025 in Brussels.
For 1inch, this partnership with Linea represents the latest step in a series of strategic alliances with both layer 1 and layer 2 blockchains, focused on delivering quicker transactions and lower fees. Notably, 1inch has previously integrated with Polygon and Binance Smart Chain.
For Linea, collaborating with 1inch enhances its ongoing strategy to broaden its DeFi offerings through key partnerships, such as integrating centralized exchange liquidity via its alliance with Lumia and incorporating swap solutions from PancakeSwap.
