1inch Monthly Digest: October 2022

The 1inch Network is happy to present you the October digest of major news and updates.

Updates, news and integrations

In early October, 1inch unveiled a partnership with Unstoppable Domains, an NFT domain name provider and digital identity platform. The partnership will enable 1inch Wallet users to perform transactions in a more user-friendly way by replacing complex addresses with domain names.

1inch also continues its mission of driving mass adoption of crypto. In a bid to bridge crypto and mixed martial arts (MMA), Unicorn Fighting Tournament (UFT) was launched, the first ever crypto MMA event. The inaugural tournament featured eight fighters battling for a unique NFT belt and a cash prize in 1INCH tokens.

Incidentally, in the same vein, 1inch partnered with Oktagon MMA, one of the fastest-growing sports promotion agencies in Europe. Under the partnership, 1inch will support a series of ten tournaments. The first tournament in the series, Oktagon 36, was held in Frankfurt on Oct. 15.

The past month also saw a number of integrations involving 1inch. The 1inch Limit Order Protocol is now integrated into Gnosis Safe, a legacy multi-signature wallet by GnosisDAO. Aurora+ launched an instant crypto exchange powered by 1inch, SwapBox integrated 1inch swapping routes and XY Finance integrated 1inch routes on eight chains.

Meanwhile, 1inch now enables native swaps in the Fizen wallet, and Exodus Wallet added 1INCH to the list of supported tokens.

In October, the 1inch Network continued to run DeFi Visions, a series of video interviews with DeFi’s most prominent personalities and projects. The most recent installment featured Fernando Martinelli, co-founder and CEO of Balancer Labs.

The main takeaways from DeFi Visions interviews are also available on this blog.
