1inch partners with Innerworks

This collaboration upgrades DeFi security with AI-powered threat detection.

The bigger DeFi grows, the more bad actors test its defenses. 1inch works constantly to maintain a robust security perimeter. But as hackers move faster to find new attack vectors, protection must evolve just as quickly.

One answer lies in building partnerships that bring new approaches to security.  The latest of these integrates Innerworks’ predictive AI, advanced device intelligence and RedTeam ethical hacking tools with 1inch’s proactive defense system, setting a new benchmark for security in DeFi.

Rather than waiting for attacks, Innerworks exposes hacker tactics before they strike, feeding real-time intelligence directly into 1inch’s system. Just as criminals use AI to mimic human behavior online, Innerworks applies the same frontier methods to identify and neutralize synthetic threats. And it does it silently and automatically, without user action.

Innerworks’ Synthetic Threat Intelligence platform merges ethical hacking, behavioral AI and decentralized learning to detect and eliminate advanced fraud and bot attacks. Trusted by leading financial and Web3 organizations, such as Avalanche and Cronos Labs, Innerworks delivers seamless, invisible protection that keeps digital economies secure at scale.

Recent Innerworks research revealed how generative-AI-driven synthetic fraud can bypass nearly all major cybersecurity providers, achieving a 99% success rate in simulations. And this is a wake-up call that reshapes how DeFi must defend itself.

By adopting Innerworks’ solutions, 1inch not only fortifies its own ecosystem but also drives a broader movement toward smarter, collective resilience across Web3.

“We’re flipping the script on hackers,” said Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder. “By leveraging AI to anticipate their movements, we can proactively adapt our defenses to meet emerging threats. This commitment to continuous testing and improvement is what makes 1inch one of the most secure DeFi projects today.”

“Hackers are no longer just human,” added Oli Quie, Innerworks CEO. “They are synthetic, powered by AI, and capable of breaching every mainstream solution. RedTeam proves this with a 99% bypass rate. By partnering with 1inch, we are converting this intelligence into a collective immune system that defends crypto - and eventually, the wider internet.”
