1inch Monthly Digest: May 2023

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

Updates, news and integrations

As the 1inch Network carried on with the mission of conquering the DeFi space, its innovative Fusion mode, which enables users to make protected token swap without paying network fees, was deployed on five more blockchains supported by 1inch.

Users of Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Fantom and Gnosis can now benefit from highly protected and cost-efficient swaps in the 1inch dApp. Launched in December 2022, Fusion mode was originally available on Ethereum, Polygon and BNB Chain. Since then, hundreds of thousands of swaps worth billions of dollars have been made on those networks with Fusion mode.

In May, 1inch integrated with a range of promising projects, including Birdeye, a crypto trading data aggregator; Stripe, a payment system that gives crypto businesses access to the global financial infrastructure, and the crypto wallets LIFE and BitKeep.

By the way, On May 19, 1inch celebrated its 4th anniversary. Our journey through the DeFi space continues!
