Cross-chain crypto swaps across 13+ networks

Q: What is slippage in crypto, and how does 1inch help minimize it?

Slippage is the difference between the expected swap price and the actual execution price, often due to volatility or low liquidity. 1inch minimizes slippage by aggregating liquidity and using optimized routing. Auto-slippage adjusts tolerance automatically.

Q: How can I track my assets on 1inch?

Use the Portfolio section to monitor balances, holdings, and positions across supported chains, with a real-time view of wallet activity.

Q: How do gas fees work?

Gas fees are the cost of processing transactions on a blockchain, paid in the network’s native token. They depend on network activity and transaction complexity. On 1inch, estimated gas fees are shown before confirming. Advanced mode allows gas adjustments. For cross-chain swaps and limit orders, no native tokens are needed.

Question 1

What is a cross-chain swap?

Answer

A cross-chain swap allows you to move crypto assets directly between different blockchain networks. Traditionally, this required complex and often risky bridging protocols. With 1inch, you can perform secure cross-chain swaps across 13+ supported networks in a single transaction, right within the app or wallet.

Question 2

Can I swap tokens across chains?

Answer

Yes. With 1inch, you can make cross-chain swaps directly in the app or wallet app, moving assets between supported networks in one transaction.

Question 3

How do I swap crypto tokens on 1inch?

Answer

Select the token and chain you want to swap from, and the token you want to receive. For cross-chain swaps, also choose the destination chain.

Question 4

What’s the difference between Classic and Simple on 1inch?

Answer

Simple swap is our default, intent-based mode. You get the best rate, zero swap gas fees, and MEV protection automatically – maximum efficiency, minimal input. Classic refers to traditional execution via the DEX aggregator, now found in the Pro interface , which gives advanced users full control over gas, slippage, and routing, along with the responsibility for execution.

Question 5

How can I swap tokens across chains?

Answer

On 1inch, select the token and chain you’re swapping from, then the token and chain you want to receive. Click Permit and Swap — no need to hold native tokens for gas. MEV protection is included.

Question 6

What is MEV protection?

Answer

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profit bots make by reordering transactions in a block, often through frontrunning or sandwich attacks. 1inch offers MEV protection via intent-based execution, keeping swaps safe from these exploits. Cross-chain swaps are also protected.
