1inch to discontinue its card programme, with shutdown scheduled for December 18, 2026.
Tech & Launches ·
1inch is discontinuing its card programme, with the service set to close on December 18, 2026. Cardholders will need to withdraw their balances before that deadline to avoid losing access to funds held in the programme.
The card offering represented an effort by 1inch to bridge its DeFi infrastructure with consumer-facing payment functionality. The wind-down signals a strategic shift in how the protocol prioritizes its development, as it refocuses on its core DEX aggregation, intent-based trading engine, and liquidity infrastructure across multiple blockchains.
The exact reasons for the discontinuation have not been detailed in available announcements. Cardholders should review withdrawal guidance to ensure timely movement of their holdings before the deadline.
