2021 brought a tidal wave of updates to our dApp. First up, we shattered boundaries by expanding 1inch from only Ethereum to 4️⃣ more chains: BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum.

Our flagship 1inch Aggregation Protocol leveled up twice: to V3 in March and V4 in November, bringing lower gas fees, better rates, and more liquidity. 🆕 In June, we unleashed the unique Limit Order Protocol, letting users swap crypto at specific prices. By December, it evolved to V2 with gasless limit orders for ETH, RFQ swaps. In July, we introduced the Simple Mode for our dApp, featuring a sleek swap interface that offers traders unparalleled user-friendliness.

📱 In April 2021, we shook up the DeFi market with the launch of the 1inch Wallet for iOS! Packed with all the dApp's functionality and unique mobile features like push notifications, WalletConnect support, pay with URLs, encrypted iCloud backup, and more—it became the all-in-one crypto app before it was mainstream 😄

By the way, the latest version of the 1inch Wallet is here:

2021 was an exciting year for 1inch with lots of great collaborations and integrations. We partnered with Mercuryo, Bitquery, BitPay, Hashflow, and even the animated series Take My Muffin. Plus, we integrated with Trust Wallet, Ledger Live, Oasis app, Dharma, and many others.

Finally, the milestones of 2021 📊 On December 1, 1inch closed a massive $175M Series B round led by Amber Group, Jane Street, VanEck, with 50 investors. That same month, our total volume smashed $110B, hitting a $974M daily ATH, and wallets surpassed 1M.
