What is 1inch?
1inch launched in 2019 and has become one of the names people actually recognise in non-custodial on-chain swapping. Aggregator that splits orders across DEXs for the best net price. In day-to-day use the platform is judged on three things: what it costs, how quickly it moves your money, and whether it behaves the same way when markets get busy. On pricing, 1inch sits at No protocol fee, which we have verified against the public fee schedule rather than the marketing page.
Our rating reflects fees, usability and trust rather than brand size alone. We looked at onboarding friction, how clearly limits and requirements are communicated, what happens when you need support, and whether withdrawals arrive on time. The pros and cons below are the points that would actually change your decision — not a feature list. If 1inch is not the right fit, the alternatives further down the page cover the same use case with a different trade-off.
