Leading decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator 1inch Network recently revealed a significant update for its 1inch Swap Engine called Fusion. For crypto investors, the Fusion update seeks to enable affordable, secure, and rewarding swaps.
DeFi investors can make orders with a predetermined price and time range without paying network costs by using the Fusion mode of the 1inch Swap Engine. The upgrade also contains network upgrades, including modernized staking contracts and tokenomics.
What is the mechanism?
The 1inch Limit Order Mechanism and the 1inch Aggregation Protocol were the foundation for the decentralized trading and matching protocol known as the 1inch Swap Engine. As a result, customers may now access “nearly all available liquidity in the crypto market,” the team claims.
Professional market makers known as resolvers, who pay the necessary gas fees, fill the orders. To become a resolver, users must stake 1INCH tokens, and the top five stakers will execute orders first.
What is the Fusion mode?
Fusion mode enables users to trade tokens “at the most advantageous rates” across a number of decentralized exchanges without incurring any network fees. Three choices are available to them:
- Fast – in this case, the user agrees to a less favorable rate in exchange for the swap being completed in a matter of blocks.
- Fair – the user can hold out for better pricing for a little while.
- Auction – The user must wait up to 10 minutes in an auction to get the best deal.
In addition, the Fusion mode protects users from the maximum extractable value (MEV), which is the maximum profit that can be made from block production over and above the regular block reward and gas charges.
