1inch Launches Cross-Chain Swaps for Solana
Date: 2025-08-20 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: BUSINESS
DEX aggregator 1inch has announced the introduction of the industry’s first native cross-chain swaps, allowing users to swap Solana assets with tokens from over 12 major EVM blockchains. The feature is available in the 1inch dApp, Wallet, and via the Fusion+ API.
The main benefit of this innovation is the ability to perform secure and direct swaps without the need for cross-chain bridges or intermediate protocols. This reduces the risk of losing funds, ensures high transaction speeds, and protects users from the negative impact of MEV activity. In addition, users gain access to additional liquidity.
Solana support was added to 1inch back in April 2025. The new functionality significantly simplifies the interaction between the Solana blockchain and the EVM ecosystem, eliminating fragmentation and turning the network into a full-fledged DeFi hub. 1inch representatives noted that Solana tokens can now be traded directly with assets of other networks, opening the platform to users who are previously unfamiliar with the blockchain.
The company emphasized that this solution makes DeFi more accessible and intuitive for beginners, and a safe and effective tool for cross-chain transactions for experienced traders.
Recall that during a recent stress test, Solana showed a throughput of over 100,000 transactions per second, which confirms the network's readiness for large-scale operations and integration with other blockchains.
Thus, 1inch continues to strengthen its position in the decentralized exchange market, offering users convenient tools for trading and interacting with various blockchain networks without unnecessary intermediaries. The innovation not only increases security and liquidity, but also creates new opportunities for the development of the DeFi ecosystem as a whole.
The update confirms the trend towards expanding cross-chain transaction capabilities and integrating Solana into the global EVM network, opening up new opportunities for users, investors, and decentralized application developers.
