Liquidity providers: it’s time to wake up.
Use 1inch Aqua to find more activity in more markets, without letting your tokens out of your wallet.
Risk-controlled execution meets full self-custody.
No, you aren’t dreaming.
Here’s how it works:
Every swap on Aqua is executed by a "verified counterparty," which 1inch defines as "a market maker or arbitrage bot that has been verified," with the check "enforced on-chain at swap time." 1inch calls it the first risk-controlled liquidity venue and part of a shift toward "risk-controlled and regulated DeFi." When Aqua reached developers in November, the company said anyone could interact with a position to execute a swap.
It also says each position's single owner makes just-in-time fee skimming impossible, putting the cost of such attacks at up to 44% of provider fee income.
At the time of its early access launch, a spokesperson for 1inch claimed that Aqua has the potential to "transform how capital and yield strategies operate in DeFi," providing deeper liquidity across the industry and reducing fragmentation.
