What’s new

1inch has upgraded its Intent Swap API to support tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). With this update, RWAs are now accessible via the 1inch dApp and Wallet (outside of the US and other restricted regions).

RWAs are also available to partners through the Intent Swap API on the 1inch DevPortal. One of the first partners to expand its integration is Trust Wallet, bringing RWA access to its community.

Why it matters

Liquidity has been one of the biggest hurdles for RWA adoption. The upgraded Intent Swap API addresses this by leveraging 1inch’s leading aggregation technology, making RWA swaps as easy and efficient as crypto swaps.

This milestone was achieved in partnership with Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized real-world assets. Ondo recently announced the launch of Ondo Global Markets, which provides non-US investors seamless access to over 100 tokenized assets on Ethereum, with plans to expand to more than 1,000 by the end of the year.

How it works

  1. Resolvers: 1inch routes trades through resolvers to execute orders quickly and securely.

  2. Aggregation: users get access to tokenized assets with efficient pricing and liquidity.

  3. Ecosystem access: all Intent Swap API integrators can now enable RWAs for their eligible users.

Official statements

Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder:

“Tokenization of real-world assets is tomorrow’s tech being adopted today. At 1inch, we’ve overcome one of the biggest challenges to this shift, which is fragmented liquidity. By upgrading the 1inch Intent Swap API, we’re now enabling efficient, jurisdiction-aware access to tokenized assets through the 1inch ecosystem, helping reduce barriers and expand access where permitted.”
​

Ian De Bode, Chief Strategy Officer, Ondo Finance:

“The 1inch Intent Swap API plays an important role in powering Ondo Global Markets by enabling efficient on-chain execution for our tokenized assets, helping us deliver deep liquidity and competitive pricing. This integration strengthens our ability to connect traditional assets with DeFi infrastructure, expanding access and creating a more inclusive financial system.”
