About 1inch Network (1INCH/USD)
1inch launched in 2019 after its founders identified that trading large amounts on a single DEX like Uniswap caused significant price impact. The protocol's Pathfinder algorithm splits a single trade across multiple liquidity sources, Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, and dozens of others, executing partial fills at each venue to minimize total slippage. The 1inch Limit Order Protocol also allows traders to set conditional orders that execute automatically when market prices meet specified criteria without relying on a centralized order book. The 1INCH token is used for governance of the protocol's fee structure and for staking in the Resolver Network, where market makers called resolvers fill limit orders and earn rewards. 1INCH/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no 1INCH tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

FAQ
What problem does 1inch solve in DeFi?
Trading large amounts on a single decentralized exchange creates price impact, the act of buying pushes the price up against you. 1inch's Pathfinder algorithm solves this by routing a single trade across multiple DEXes simultaneously, executing partial fills at each venue where liquidity is available. Traders get a better average execution price than any single DEX could provide, particularly for large orders.
What is the 1inch Limit Order Protocol?
The Limit Order Protocol lets users set orders that execute automatically when market conditions are met, without relying on a centralized exchange. Orders are signed off-chain and stored in a decentralized order book. Resolvers, staked participants in the network, compete to fill orders and earn a reward for doing so. The outcome is a gasless order placement experience while maintaining the trustless execution properties of DeFi.
How does 1inch compare to trading directly on Uniswap?
For small trades where one pool contains sufficient liquidity, 1inch and Uniswap may return similar prices. For larger trades or less liquid tokens, 1inch's multi-path routing typically returns a meaningfully better price by splitting the order across several pools and avoiding the price impact concentration that comes with a single-venue fill.
Does trading 1INCH/USD on StoicFX mean I hold tokens?
No. 1INCH/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade the price of 1INCH against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To use the 1inch DEX aggregator, stake in the resolver network, or vote on governance proposals, you would need actual 1INCH tokens in a compatible Web3 wallet.
