1inch launches full product suite on Monad with intent-based swaps, zero gas fees, and MEV protection.
DeFi & Yields ·
1inch has launched its full product suite on Monad, featuring intent-based swaps that operate without gas fees and include MEV protection. The deployment brings the platform's core trading and liquidity tools to Monad, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed to achieve 10,000 transactions per second through parallel execution and custom consensus. Intent-based swaps allow users to express desired outcomes rather than specify exact transaction paths, enabling more efficient routing and reduced slippage.
Monad's architecture enables the zero-gas-fee model by processing non-conflicting transactions concurrently across CPU cores while maintaining deterministic ordering for dependent operations. MEV protection on the platform addresses the risk of front-running and sandwich attacks that traders face on sequential-execution blockchains. The combination of high throughput, EVM compatibility, and developer tooling familiarity positions Monad as an alternative to both Ethereum's constrained capacity and EVM-incompatible high-speed chains.
Confirmation of adoption milestones and specific technical integration details—such as which 1inch features were prioritized for the Monad launch or transaction volume metrics post-deployment—remain to be disclosed in fuller updates from the protocol teams.
