1inch Sponsors ETHGlobal Lisbon 2026 Hackathon with Major Prize Pool

1inch Wallet has introduced limit order functionality, allowing users to set target prices for trades that execute automatically when the market reaches those levels. **Key features:** - Set custom price targets for trades - Orders execute automatically when market conditions are met - Full self-custody maintained throughout the process - Users can set up to 100 orders per blockchain This feature builds on 1inch's Trade mode introduced earlier this year, giving users more control over their trading strategy without sacrificing custody of their assets.

Dune Analytics has published a comprehensive report examining capital efficiency across decentralized exchanges. The analysis explores how different DEX protocols utilize liquidity and the mechanisms they employ to optimize capital deployment. **Key areas covered:** - Comparison of capital efficiency metrics across major DEX platforms - Analysis of concentrated liquidity models versus traditional AMM approaches - Impact of different fee structures on liquidity provider returns - Trade-offs between capital efficiency and user experience The report provides data-driven insights into how DEX architecture affects both traders and liquidity providers. It examines real-world performance metrics rather than theoretical models. Full analysis available at: [Dune Analytics Blog](https://dune.com/blog/capital-efficiency-decentralized-exchanges)

**Research from 1inch and Dune reveals a significant inefficiency in DeFi markets.** A six-month study tracking $1.84B in DEX liquidity across seven chains found that 85% of pooled capital remains underutilized at any given time. Approximately $542M earns no fees at all. **Key findings:** - Liquidity providers collectively miss out on roughly $150M in annual fees - Out-of-range positions account for most of the lost opportunity - Current liquidity design creates systematic inefficiency As institutional capital and tokenized assets move onchain, this billion-dollar inefficiency could scale into a trillion-dollar problem. The research suggests DeFi's growth has occurred despite most capital not being fully deployed, pointing to the need for improved liquidity mechanisms.

A new approach to liquidity management is being proposed that consolidates multiple individual position pools into a single shared source. **Current Model:** - Each position maintains its own separate pool - Most liquidity remains idle and underutilized **Proposed Alternative:** - All positions draw from one unified pool - Distribution based on assigned units that determine member shares - Automatic proportional allocation (e.g., 50 units of 100 = 50% of distributions) - Shares remain constant until manually adjusted The concept builds on earlier distribution pool mechanics where members receive proportional shares of flowing assets based on their allocated units.

**1inch Wallet now supports tokenized SpaceX trading** directly within the platform, eliminating the need for separate accounts. **Key features:** - Trade tokenized stocks including SpaceX, Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA - Gasless transactions through intent-based execution - Seamless integration within existing 1inch Wallet interface The platform uses intent-based swap technology to facilitate these trades, streamlining the process of accessing tokenized equity markets through decentralized infrastructure.
