No noise, pure efficiency: 1”

Today, AI agents are being given crypto and asked to manage it, albeit within permissions. Humans define the capital, intent, and boundaries within which agents are increasingly able to make economic decisions themselves. This is where crypto's next billion users will come from. With infrastructure like the @1inch MCP, an agent that could previously read your DeFi positions can now open and close them. Tell Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor the pair, and the agent can execute, once you sign that is. Beyond just managing strategies, BlackRock’s recent paper outlines how at the same time crypto as an industry is set to benefit from the rise of AI agents. The rails we have built lend themselves naturally to virtual entities: no need for physical cards, bank tellers, or face recognition. What agents need are seamless, optimised rails and financial infrastructure that can operate digitally and autonomously. For some time I have predicted that the next billion blockchain users may be AI agents. I still believe this, only now, I think it will happen sooner. Crypto isn't just an asset class AI can trade. It may become part of the financial infrastructure AI operates on.

You cannot ignore us. DeFi is now on your TV 📺 Yesterday, I joined @FINTECHTVglobal from their Dubai studio, just before the NYSE opening bell. To summarize: → @1inch Aqua crossed $3B in volume → Intent-based infrastructure is the perfect match for RWAs → AI agents are already plugging into Web3 → $7B in RWA volume has already moved through 1inch In case you missed it: terminal.fintech.tv/fintecht…

$7B is a great start. We’re heading for $700B.

Liquidity unlocked. Agent locked in. You just sign.

Today, @arc brought together institutional and crypto-native heavyweights to build the financial infrastructure of the future. It might feel remarkable today to see brands such as BlackRock, Visa and Mastercard in the same salmon pink Financial Times announcement alongside @1inch. But soon, it'll just be the norm. The DeFi industry is only heading in one direction, forwards.

DeFi adoption and understanding go hand in hand. We can’t just talk about becoming a central piece of financial systems; we need to take practical steps to upskill the people who will shape them. Alongside @BlockchainAssn, we are laying the groundwork for the future of finance.

Three chains in three days. We have integrated HyperEVM, just hours after Monad and Cronos. Solving fragmentation is core to our mission, and we’re challenging the industry to move faster with us. If we’re going to scale DeFi as an industry, we need a more connected ecosystem where users can access liquidity and swap seamlessly across chains.

My Forbes interview is out. Let me be clear: DeFi and 1inch are set to become central to global finance. The profits and size will come. But you don't get there by only focusing on extracting from users today. You get there by building better products, better outcomes and expanding the market. Build the rails now. Charge when all of finance runs on them. That's what @1inch is all about. My @Forbes interview: forbes.com/sites/boazsobrado…

Ten days ago, we were celebrating $500m. Tuesday's $1bn Aqua volume milestone is proof people are using the product, sure. But more importantly, it's proof we need it. Shared liquidity is a new idea. We always expected adoption to take time. The speed at which we’ve gone from 0 to $1bn tells us something pretty simple: the problem is real, and the product is solving it.

Today 1inch becomes part of the @monad ecosystem. Live now. The full stack from day one: intent-based swaps with no gas fees and MEV protection, users can cross-chain in with no bridge, native USDC via CCTP, Aqua running from the start. One of the fastest EVM chains now has every 1inch product on it.

$500M in five weeks. The numbers don’t lie. Aqua’s adoption is undeniable.

1inch is building institutionally ready infrastructure. This requires going beyond minimum standards with rigorous testing and multiple layers of security. Bug bounties are a key foundation of this approach.

$100 million+ in swap volume through Aqua. 17 days in.

Sometimes, you only see a better way once there’s an alternative. With Aqua, DeFi now has shared liquidity. And the industry is starting to wake up to it.
