Aqua Launches: DeFi Traders Can Now Back Multiple Positions with a Single Wallet Balance

1inch has launched Aqua, a new platform that lets DeFi traders use the same wallet balance to back multiple liquidity positions across 13 EVM chains.

The launch comes after Dune research commissioned by 1inch found that 85% of concentrated liquidity was underused in the first half of 2026, with $542 million sitting idle in an average week.

Aqua's design is meant to put this 'dead money' back to work. Instead of locking tokens into a pool contract, providers connect their wallet and approve a balance, which can then be used to register multiple positions across different chains.

The platform has gone through eight independent audits by OpenZeppelin, Bailsec, Hashlock, Hexens, MixBytes, Nethermind, Theori, and Decurity.
