How Okto Leverages 1inch Swap API for Faster, Smarter DeFi Swaps

·

The integration of 1inch's advanced swap functionality enables Okto—the pioneering chain-abstracted wallet—to deliver optimized trading experiences across EVM-compatible networks.

By harnessing 1inch's liquidity aggregation and route discovery technology, Okto solves critical challenges in DeFi fragmentation, offering users faster, more reliable, and cost-efficient token swaps.

Okto: Simplifying Web3 Access

Okto’s mission—"Experience Web3, The Easy Way"—drives its innovation as the first live chain-abstracted wallet. It abstracts blockchain complexities while preserving self-custody security.

Initial Challenges

Okto faced three core hurdles in DeFi:

  1. Speed: Slow transaction execution on congested networks.
  2. Reliability: Fragmented liquidity across isolated blockchains.
  3. Cost: High fees and slippage from inefficient routing.

Users struggled with manual chain selection, gas management, and bridging—friction points Okto aimed to eliminate.

Why Okto Chose 1inch

After evaluating alternatives (Uniswap, Li.Fi, Socket), Okto selected 1inch for:

1. Superior Liquidity Aggregation

1inch integrates the most DEXs and pools across EVM chains, ensuring access to rare trading pairs.
