1inch arrives on Monad
Swap on Monad, one of the fastest EVM chains, move assets cross-chain without a bridge, provide liquidity through Aqua and access Monad through every 1inch API.
Fast chains need fast, efficient trading infrastructure. That is why 1inch has integrated Monad, a high-performance EVM chain built around 300ms blocks, 600ms finality and fees at fractions of a cent.
What is Monad?
Monad combines full EVM compatibility with a design built for high throughput. The network targets up to 10,000 transactions per second, with transactions confirming in under a second. And it already has significant DeFi activity.
As of early September, Monad held around $956 mln in TVL, while daily DEX volume ranged from roughly $200 mln to $340 mln, according to DefiLlama. Daily active addresses stood at around 22,000-27,000.
Aggregation, however, still represents only a small part of that activity. Aggregators routed around $4.6 mln-$11 mln per day, or roughly 2%-3% of total DEX volume. Some activity may be boosted by bots and incentives, but the network has already developed a sizable trading ecosystem.
Now, 1inch brings its routing and execution infrastructure to that market.
Trade Monad with 1inch
With Monad support, you can swap assets on the network directly through the 1inch dApp or 1inch Wallet.
Intent-based swaps let you specify the outcome you want while competing resolvers fill the order. For users, that means no gas fees and built-in MEV protection.
Monad already supports a broad range of assets, including:
- MON and wrapped MON (WMON)
- Stablecoins including USDC, USDT0, AUSD, USDe and GHO
- Major assets including WETH, WBTC, cbBTC and wstETH
- Monad ecosystem assets such as aprMON, sMON, gMON, APR and CHOG
Native USDC, available through Circle CCTP, also provides a familiar stablecoin route for capital moving into and around the ecosystem.
Move assets to Monad without a bridge
Getting onto a new chain traditionally means finding a bridge, moving assets across and then opening another interface to make the trade you actually wanted.
1inch cross-chain swaps remove those extra steps.
You can swap an asset on another supported network directly for an asset on Monad in one cross-chain transaction. There is no need to interact with a traditional bridge, and the process remains self-custodial end to end.
That makes Monad accessible not only to traders already active there, but also to existing 1inch users looking to move liquidity onto the network.
One more chain, one connected DeFi experience
Monad is built around speed. 1inch makes that speed accessible across a broader DeFi environment.
Whether you are trading directly on Monad, moving assets there from another chain, providing liquidity through Aqua or adding Monad to an application through 1inch APIs, the network is now part of the same 1inch experience.
