More than $500 mln in swap volume has now gone through 1inch Aqua. Every fill came directly from liquidity providers’ wallets: their tokens stayed in their wallets until the moment a swap actually filled.
Providing liquidity has traditionally meant depositing tokens into a pool or vault and giving a smart contract custody of them until you withdraw. 1inch Aqua takes a self-custodial approach: your tokens stay in your wallet and move only when a swap fills.
Just-in-time liquidity can let opportunistic bots capture fees from swaps without taking the same ongoing exposure as long-term LPs. 1inch Aqua changes the structure that makes this possible.
1inch Aqua was built around self-custody, so its security depends heavily on the smart contracts that make shared liquidity possible. These contracts have been heavily audited by top crypto security firms.
1inch Aqua gives you several options to provide liquidity, depending on the assets you're trading and how actively you want to manage your position. In this article, we’ll explain what options you have.
Liquidity providers earn fees by taking on risk - but not every risk is worth taking. Here's how to evaluate the real economics of liquidity provision and why 1inch Aqua changes an important part of the risk equation.
This article explains why total value locked (TVL) may not always be a meaningful metric and why, in the context of liquidity provision, it may be more accurate to speak of total value unlocked.
Liquidity vaults made DeFi easier by automating liquidity management. But capital remains locked into individual strategies. 1inch Aqua takes a different approach by letting the same wallet balance back multiple strategies.
Concentrated liquidity was once a major DeFi innovation. But it didn't solve liquidity fragmentation. 1inch Aqua builds on the idea by letting the same wallet balance back multiple concentrated positions.
Shared liquidity is an innovative DeFi liquidity model that lets the same wallet balance support multiple strategies at once.
