1inch Expands to Linea

·

The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and 1inch is at the forefront of this transformation. In a strategic move to enhance user experience and broaden its ecosystem reach, 1inch has officially launched its services on Linea, Consensys’ high-performance zkEVM Layer 2 network. This integration brings classic, Fusion, and Fusion+ swap functionalities to Linea, unlocking faster transactions, deeper liquidity, and significantly reduced fees for users across both platforms.

With this expansion, 1inch reinforces its commitment to interoperability and seamless cross-chain trading. By leveraging Linea’s scalable infrastructure, traders gain access to efficient DeFi tools that mirror the speed and simplicity of traditional web applications—without sacrificing security or decentralization.

What Is Linea?

Linea is a zero-knowledge (zk) rollup Layer 2 solution developed by Consensys, one of the most influential companies in the Ethereum ecosystem. Built as a zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine), Linea maintains full compatibility with Ethereum, enabling developers to deploy existing smart contracts and dApps with minimal modifications.

This technical foundation allows Linea to offer:

As a result, Linea delivers a smooth and efficient environment for both users and builders—making it an ideal partner for 1inch’s mission to democratize access to decentralized trading.

“In moving toward our mission to empower everyone to live on-chain, Linea’s approach has been to take web3 user, builder and community experience to higher levels,” Linea stated on its official site. “With innovations in security, digital identity, payments, and DeFi, as well as community nurturing and organization, we’ve aimed to lower barriers to entry, create the most secure environment, streamline everyday processes, and elevate the whole Web3 experience.”

Why This Expansion Matters

The integration of 1inch into the Linea ecosystem marks a significant milestone for both projects. For 1inch users, this means:

For developers and protocol teams, the presence of 1inch acts as a powerful liquidity aggregator, increasing visibility and usability of their tokens. It also encourages further innovation within the Linea ecosystem by simplifying access to a wide range of assets.
