The 1inch Network announced on January 20, 2022 that they’ve expanded to Avalanche (AVAX) and Gnosis Chain (GNO).
As explained in the update, the expansion to the two fast-growing blockchains will aim to “offer 1inch users more options for low-costs, high-speed transactions.”
The 1inch Network is pleased to confirm that its conquest of the decentralized finance (DeFi) space goes ahead as the 1inch Aggregation Protocol and the 1inch Limit Order Protocol have been “deployed on Avalanche and Gnosis Chain, formerly known as the xDai Chain.”
Sergej Kunz, 1inch Network Co-founder, stated:
“1inch’s main goal is to offer users the best deals across the blockchain space. To achieve that, 1inch protocols constantly expand to new chains, and the expansion to Avalanche and Gnosis Chain will offer 1inch users more options for cheap and fast transactions.”
