1inch, a DeFi project announced its integration with Talos, the provider of institutional portfolio and trading tech for digital assets.
This collab enhances liquidity access for Talos clients by allowing them to leverage 1inch’s Swap API, which sources liquidity across decentralized exchanges to help “ensure optimal trade execution.”
1inch is designed to help traders access the “best possible” prices and lowest fees by aggregating liquidity across numerous DEXs and “choosing the best trading routes.”
Via this integration, Talos clients are able to utilize 1inch’s aggregation protocol to seamlessly interact with “deeper liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem with enhanced efficiency.”
Sergej Kunz, Co-Founder of 1inch said:
“This integration marks a pivotal step in bringing together institutions and decentralized finance. Together, we’re making DeFi accessible, reliable and impactful for the world’s leading institutions.”
Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos said:
“1inch’s aggregation technology and connectivity to all essential DEXs will provide Talos clients with improved price discovery, essential for sophisticated digital asset trading.”
Unlike centralized exchanges, DEXs enable peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries managing the “order flow, holding funds, or supervising the process.”
By trading on DEXs, users retain “control over their assets in their own wallets.”
For this integration, Fireblocks, a digital assets infrastructure provider, facilitates access to 1inch via the Talos platform.
Talos’s trading platform provides clients with time-based algorithmic strategies, including the TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm, enabling transactions across centralized and decentralized venues.
This integration marks Talos’s next step in expanding its clients’ connectivity to decentralized liquidity, following its integration with Uniswap, and advances its mission of “connecting institutions to the digital asset ecosystem in a secure environment.”
As covered, 1inch is enhancing the world of decentralized finance by providing users with the “best possible” crypto trading experience.
Beyond being the platform for “efficient” token swaps, 1inch offers a range of tools, including a self-custodial wallet, a portfolio tracker for managing digital assets, a developer portal to “build on its technology, and a debit card for crypto spending.”
By pushing the limits of innovation, 1inch is simplifying DeFi for everyone and helping to shape the “future of finance.”
As noted in the update, Talos provides institutional-grade tech that supports the full digital asset investment lifecycle, including “liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement and portfolio management.”
Engineered by a team with experience building trading and portfolio systems, the Talos platform connects institutions to providers in the digital asset ecosystem – exchanges, OTC desks, prime brokers, lenders, custodians.
