1inch Reinforces Security Message: Verify Before You Trust
1inch continues its security awareness campaign with a straightforward reminder to users. **Key Message:** - Users should maintain personal vigilance when interacting with DeFi protocols - The core principle: "Don't trust - verify" - Security resources available at [1inch.com/security](http://1inch.com/security) **Context:** This follows 1inch's previous security initiatives, including their token warning system launched in mid-2025. That system, built on 1inch Shield in collaboration with Web3 Antivirus, automatically alerts users when interacting with potentially malicious tokens during swaps. The repeated messaging underscores the ongoing importance of user responsibility in DeFi security, even with automated protections in place.
1inch Partners with ChainPatrol to Combat DeFi Phishing and Fake dApps

**1inch has strengthened its security infrastructure through a partnership with ChainPatrol** to protect users from malicious actors exploiting the 1inch brand. The collaboration focuses on: - Taking down fake dApps - Blocking phishing attempts - Preventing brand exploitation The partnership delivered measurable results throughout 2025, demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative security approaches in DeFi. This initiative builds on 1inch's previous security efforts, including joining the [Beacon Network](https://beacon.network) to track illicit funds and enhance real-time threat detection across the ecosystem.
1inch Partners with OneKey Hardware Wallet for Secure Token Swaps
**1inch has integrated its Swap API with OneKey hardware wallets**, combining self-custody security with optimized swap pricing. **Key features of the collaboration:** - Users can execute token swaps directly through OneKey's hardware wallet interface - Transactions benefit from 1inch's price aggregation across multiple DEXs - Private keys remain secured on the hardware device throughout the swap process **Why it matters:** The integration eliminates the traditional trade-off between security and convenience in DeFi trading. Users no longer need to choose between keeping assets in cold storage or moving them to hot wallets for better swap rates. This follows 1inch's similar integration with Ledger devices earlier this year, expanding secure swap options for hardware wallet users.
