1inch’s Game-Changer: Gasless DeFi Access Now Live Through Rewardy Wallet Integration
Forget gas fees. The DEX aggregator just tore down another barrier to entry.
The Frictionless Future Lands
1inch's integration with Rewardy Wallet isn't just another partnership—it's a direct assault on one of decentralized finance's most persistent pain points. By enabling fully gasless transactions, the move effectively subsidizes user onboarding, letting newcomers dip their toes without first paying a 'toll' to the Ethereum network. It's a classic growth hack, dressed in DeFi robes.
Aggregation Gets Aggressive
This isn't about adding a feature; it's about capturing a segment. By removing the upfront cost and complexity of managing ETH for gas, 1inch directly targets the cautious, cost-sensitive user currently sitting on the sidelines. The aggregator war just shifted from who finds the best price to who provides the smoothest ride. Other platforms will now scramble to match this zero-friction experience or risk losing the next wave of adoption.
The Fine Print and The Big Picture
Sure, the 'gasless' model likely involves clever meta-transactions or sponsorship—someone's footing the bill, probably as a marketing cost. A cynical take? It's user acquisition spending, the crypto equivalent of a 'first trade free' promo. But the strategic brilliance is undeniable. It makes DeFi behave a bit more like the slick, fee-free onboarding of TradFi apps, while quietly hoping users won't notice they're trading one set of middlemen for another. The race isn't just to the swift; it's to the seamless.
Removing Gas Tokens From the User Experience
Gas management has long been a barrier to mainstream DeFi adoption, particularly for newer users navigating multiple blockchain networks. The requirement to hold the correct native token for each chain often results in stalled or failed transactions and adds unnecessary complexity to everyday crypto use.
By eliminating the need to pre-purchase native gas tokens, the integration delivers a cleaner, more intuitive experience that aligns with the expectations users have of modern financial applications, while preserving self-custody and execution quality.
Powered by 1inch’s Aggregation Infrastructure
Through the integration of the 1inch Swap API, Rewardy Wallet gains access to aggregation and routing infrastructure. The firm claims users benefit from optimized pricing and liquidity across supported chains, all executed within Rewardy’s in-app swap environment.
The setup allows swapping across Ethereum, BNB Chain and other supported networks without requiring users to manage network settings or gas assets manually.
Built on Account Abstraction and EIP-7702
Rewardy Wallet is built around account abstraction and gasless UX principles, with the gas-free swap experience through EIP-7702. This allows transaction fees to be paid using RWD instead of native network tokens, reducing onboarding friction and simplifying cross-chain activity.
“DeFi is still too complicated for most people, and gas tokens are one of the biggest reasons,” said Yoon Jeon, CEO of Rewardy Wallet. “By partnering with 1inch and leveraging EIP-7702, we’re removing unnecessary steps and making swaps feel as simple as any modern financial app without compromising on self-custody or execution quality.”
1inch Pushes Toward Mainstream Adoption
“If DeFi is to reach its first billion users, the experience must be seamless and secure,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch. “Through the integration of our Swap API, wallets like Rewardy are helping drive a more intuitive and accessible future for users.”
The integration also supports swaps across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism, and marks another step in 1inch’s strategy of embedding its infrastructure into consumer-ready platforms.
