Aqua Launches: 1inch's Shared Liquidity Layer Revolutionizes DeFi

1inch has launched Aqua to the public, marking a significant milestone in DeFi's evolution. This shared liquidity layer aims to provide a risk-controlled alternative to traditional pool-based models.

Aqua offers users the ability to use their wallet balance across multiple positions without locking assets, allowing for more efficient capital provisioning. The 1inch Foundation has committed 10 million 1INCH tokens as provider rewards, and an additional $500k USDC from the 1inch DAO will be used to boost liquidity growth.

With its decentralized design, Aqua enables users to maintain control over their assets at all times, ensuring that tokens are only used for swaps that meet specific criteria. The platform has undergone eight independent security audits and is protected from JIT fee sniping by design.
