1inch

Overview

1inch is a DEX aggregator that sources liquidity from various exchanges to offer users better token swap rates. Our solver infrastructure provides comprehensive support for 1inch's intent-based protocols, including limit order solving and liquidity aggregation integration.

Using our Solution

Our 1inch solver integration enables:

• Limit Order Solving: Participate in 1inch's limit order protocol for competitive order filling
• Liquidity Aggregation: Integrate with 1inch's aggregation routing for optimal execution
• Cross-protocol Optimization: Combine 1inch routes with our multi-protocol infrastructure
• Real-time Monitoring: Monitor and solve 1inch limit orders with microsecond-level evaluation
• Capital Efficiency: Execute orders using flash loans without inventory requirements

Solution Overview

The 1inch solver integration leverages our high-performance solving infrastructure to participate in 1inch's ecosystem as both a limit order solver and liquidity provider. The system can process 1inch limit orders and integrate 1inch's aggregation routes into our broader routing optimization.

1inch Protocol Integration

Limit Order Protocol

1inch's Limit Order Protocol enables gasless limit orders with flexible execution conditions:

1. Order Creation: Users create limit orders with specific price and time constraints
2. Solver Competition: Solvers compete to fill orders at favorable prices
3. Partial Fills: Support for partial order execution over time
4. Advanced Conditions: Complex conditional logic for order execution

Aggregation Protocol

1inch's aggregation protocol finds optimal routes across multiple DEXs:

1. Route Discovery: Find best prices across supported protocols
2. Split Routing: Split large orders across multiple protocols
3. Gas Optimization: Minimize total execution costs including gas
4. Slippage Protection: Built-in protection against unfavorable price movements

Architecture Integration

Our solver infrastructure integrates with 1inch through several key components:

Order Monitoring

• Limit Order Streaming: Real-time monitoring of new 1inch limit orders
• Order Filtering: Filter orders based on profitability and execution constraints
• Market Monitoring: Track market conditions for optimal filling opportunities

Route Integration

• 1inch Route Inclusion: Include 1inch aggregation routes in our routing optimization
• Comparative Analysis: Compare 1inch routes against our native route discovery
• Hybrid Execution: Combine 1inch routes with direct protocol access

Solution Generation

• Order Filling Strategies: Develop optimal strategies for limit order execution
• Price Improvement: Provide better execution than quoted limit prices
• Batch Optimization: Fill multiple orders efficiently in single transactions

    // Execute with flash loan if needed
    let tx = if route.requires_capital {
        self.execute_with_flash_loan(order, &route).await?
