1inch has expanded into the HyperEVM ecosystem, bringing its intent-based swap infrastructure to another EVM-compatible network. The integration is designed to let users trade without manually managing gas while also adding protection against common MEV-related execution risks, according to the aggregator.
In an official 1inch announcement, the project said its core applications and APIs are now available on HyperEVM. The rollout extends 1inch’s routing and self-custodial trading infrastructure to the network, giving users and developers access to its swap tools through the existing HyperEVM environment.
Fusion+ Adds Intent-Based Execution
The deployment uses 1inch’s Fusion+ architecture, which relies on an intent-based model rather than requiring users to construct every transaction step themselves. Professional resolvers compete to execute user orders and handle the underlying gas costs, reducing the need for traders to hold the destination network’s native token purely for transaction fees.
Fusion+ also supports cross-chain swaps without relying on a conventional custodial bridge. Users retain control of their assets throughout the process while resolvers coordinate execution across supported networks, aiming to reduce some of the custody risks associated with moving funds through third-party bridge contracts.
MEV protection forms another part of the execution model. Intent-based order flow can limit exposure to practices such as front-running and sandwich attacks by changing how transactions reach the market. The objective is to provide more predictable execution rather than exposing every swap directly to public mempool competition.
1inch Expands Liquidity Routing on HyperEVM
The integration also incorporates Aqua infrastructure to support liquidity routing and execution. Combining Aqua with 1inch’s aggregation stack gives the protocol additional tooling for sourcing and deploying liquidity inside HyperEVM, while preserving the broader intent-based user experience.
For developers, the availability of 1inch APIs means applications built on HyperEVM can integrate the aggregator’s routing without creating their own execution infrastructure from scratch. The expansion therefore targets both direct traders and third-party applications that need access to aggregated liquidity.
The launch does not eliminate every cost or execution risk associated with cross-chain DeFi. Resolver economics, liquidity conditions and smart contract dependencies can still affect individual trades. “Gasless” in this context means users do not directly manage the gas payment, rather than execution having no underlying network cost.
For 1inch, the HyperEVM deployment extends a multi-chain strategy centered on abstracting more of the complexity involved in decentralized trading. The longer-term test will be whether users and applications adopt the new routing path at scale, turning technical availability into sustained liquidity and swap activity on HyperEVM.
