TL;DR
- 1inch expands gasless DeFi access by integrating its Swap API into Rewardy Wallet, enabling users to swap tokens across multiple chains without holding native gas tokens like ETH or BNB.
- The integration lets users pay transaction fees in Rewardy’s RWD token, reducing failed swaps caused by insufficient gas balances.
- The rollout supports Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, aiming to simplify onboarding while preserving self-custody.
Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch is expanding gasless DeFi access through a new integration with Rewardy Wallet, bringing token swaps directly into Rewardy’s in-app interface. The update allows users to trade across several blockchains without needing to hold native gas tokens such as ETH, BNB, or MATIC, one of the most common friction points in everyday DeFi activity.
The integration embeds the 1inch Swap API inside Rewardy Wallet, enabling swaps while transaction fees are paid in Rewardy’s native token, RWD. By abstracting network-specific gas requirements, the partnership reduces the likelihood of failed transactions triggered by missing gas balances and streamlines cross-chain usage for users who move frequently between ecosystems.
Removing Gas Tokens From The User Experience
Gas management remains one of the most confusing parts of onchain activity, especially for newer users. Swapping on Ethereum, bridging to another network, then swapping again often requires holding multiple gas assets across different chains. Even experienced traders can run into delays when a wallet lacks the correct token to cover fees at the right moment.
Rewardy’s approach shifts that complexity away from the user, aiming for a flow closer to what people expect from consumer fintech apps. Instead of interrupting a transaction to buy or transfer gas tokens, users can continue swapping while paying fees in RWD, keeping the experience consistent across supported networks. That matters as wallets compete on usability, not just security features.
1inch Swap API Integration Expands Gasless DeFi Access
Through 1inch’s aggregation infrastructure, Rewardy Wallet users can tap into optimized routing and liquidity sources across supported chains. 1inch is widely known for splitting orders across venues to reduce slippage and improve execution, particularly during volatile periods when liquidity fragments across DEXs.
Rewardy Wallet is also built around account abstraction principles and gasless UX design. The integration references EIP-7702, which supports more flexible transaction handling and alternative fee payment methods, helping wallets move toward “pay fees with the token you have” experiences.
Rewardy Wallet CEO Yoon Jeon said gas tokens remain a major reason DeFi still feels complicated, while 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz framed the partnership as part of a broader push to make DeFi seamless without weakening self-custody.
