About 1inch Guide & how to contact us

1inch Guide is an independent, reader-supported publication covering the 1inch Network: the DEX aggregator, the limit order protocol, Fusion, the mobile wallet and the 1INCH token. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or employed by 1inch Network or any of its contributors.

Our mission

DeFi documentation is usually written for developers, and most “what is 1inch” content online is thin, recycled or years out of date. Our goal is simple: explain how decentralised aggregation actually works, in plain English, with enough detail that a first-time swapper can act on it safely and an experienced trader still learns something.

What we cover

How we make money

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate or referral links. If you open an app through one of them we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Commissions never influence our editorial verdicts — we publish drawbacks and risks alongside the benefits, and you can read the full privacy policy and affiliate disclosure. If you want to understand the mechanics from the other side, we also explain the 1inch affiliate program in detail.
