Getting started with 1inch is easy!

All you need to do is:


Helpful tips:

Any token on the following networks can be custom added to swap on 1inch:

Aurora

Arbitrum

Avalanche

Base

BNB Chain

Ethereum Mainnet

Fantom

Gnosis

Klaytn

Optimism

Polygon

zkSync
Base


1) If you don't see the token in the drop-down menu, it can be manually added with its contract address (the suggested source for finding the contract is coingecko)


2) If swapping on Classic mode, check that you have approximately sufficient native tokens on your balance to cover potential gas costs when approving and swapping.

3) Do not reduce the gas price or the gas limit, this will significantly increase the risk of transaction failures. Also, adjust slippage tolerance as needed.

4) Tokens cannot be swapped directly across chains (i.e. from Ethereum to BNB Chain) through 1inch. They must be bridged externally.
