1inch Stuns DeFi Space with Unichain Integration—Here’s Why It Matters

Breaking the cross-chain barrier: 1inch just plugged into Unichain's liquidity superhighway. No more clunky asset bridges—this is atomic swap meets multi-chain future.

Why traders should care

Unichain's zero-slippage architecture meets 1inch's aggregation firepower. Result? Instant price execution across 8 major networks without the usual gas-gouging. (Finally, a 'cross-chain solution' that doesn't require a finance degree to understand.)

The cynical take

Wall Street's still trying to tokenize real estate—meanwhile, DeFi protocols are quietly eating their lunch. This integration proves interoperability isn't just VC buzzword bingo—it's where the smart money's building.

Why Unichain?

As a reminder, the mainnet of the project was launched in February 2025. It is a layer 2 network developed based on the OP Stack. It allows for faster and cheaper transactions with full compatibility with the ethereum ecosystem, said the 1inch team.

As of mid-June 2025, Unichain’s total blockchain assets (TVL) reached $832 million, according to DeFiLlama. The integration allows access to this liquidity to be unlocked on the 1inch platform.

“Unichain fits perfectly into our vision of a fully integrated, cross-chain DeFi,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch. “With near-instant swaps, native MEV protection and DEEP Unichain liquidity now accessible via 1inch, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in multi-chain trading. We’re providing users with the best execution across ecosystems, all in one convenient location.”

New features

According to the release, the integration of 1inch and Unichain has opened up the following capabilities:

• swap tokens within the Unichain network or between it and other EVM-compliant solutions at the most favorable rate possible;
• convenient storage and management of assets in the network through 1inch Wallet and 1inch Portfolio solutions;
• swap protection against MEV attacks by default, complementing the protection provided by blockchain-based blockchain formation using TEE in Unichain.

Stablecoin support

As 1inch noted, Unichain is characterized by a high volume of stablecoin transactions. Between March and June 2025, the cumulative market capitalization of steblecoins in Unichain grew to $344.2 million, with more than 51% of them issued directly on the network (according to DeFiLlama).

This underscores Unichain’s credibility as a trusted project for professional traders – and its low fees that make frequent transactions affordable and profitable.

For developers and teams

The integration extends to the 1inch Developer Portal platform. There, developers can access Unichain through an API, which provides access to a number of features including Fusion, Fusion+, order book and more.

Supported protocols

Through the integration, 1inch now supports the following solutions in the Unichain ecosystem:

• WETH;
• Uniswap V2;
• Uniswap V3;
• Uniswap V4.

As noted by the developers, the MOVE strengthens 1inch’s position as a leading aggregator, bringing together DeFi ecosystems on a single platform. Token swap via Unichain and more than 12 other networks is already available on the 1inch app.
