TL;DR
- 1inch integrated Cronos, the EVM chain of the Crypto.com ecosystem, into its dApp, Wallet, Aqua and all its APIs.
- Intent-based swaps eliminate gas fees for users and include natively built-in MEV protection.
- Cronos records around $258.7 million in TVL and aggregators move between $100,000 and $150,000 daily in DEX volume.
1inch integrated Cronos, the EVM chain of the Crypto.com ecosystem, across all its platforms: the dApp, the Wallet, Aqua and the full suite of APIs.
The integration was announced by Vladimir Kozlov. It extends the aggregator’s capabilities to a network that combines full EVM compatibility, 0.5-second blocks, single-block finality and transaction costs below $0.001.
Cronos Reaches the Entire 1inch Ecosystem
Cronos operates with around $258.7 million in total value locked according to DefiLlama data from early September. Despite that volume, aggregators were barely channeling between $100,000 and $150,000 daily, equivalent to 2% or 3% of the network’s DEX volume. With this integration, 1inch incorporates its aggregation infrastructure to cover that gap.
The main assets available in the ecosystem include CRO and wrapped CRO (WCRO), USDC and EURC, bridged WETH and WBTC, CDCETH and ecosystem tokens such as VVS, TONIC, LCRO, VNO and FUL. USDC native holds particular relevance: Cronos migrated to native USDC via Circle CCTP in June 2026 and that asset currently represents 99.9% of the network’s stablecoin base.
Cross-Chain Swaps without Intermediary Bridges
Intent-based swaps allow the user to specify the desired outcome while resolvers compete to execute the order. This mechanism eliminates gas fees for the user and incorporates protection against MEV natively.
1inch’s cross-chain swaps consolidate into a single operation what previously required two steps: using a bridge and then executing the swap. The process is self-custodial end to end, with no need to interact with a traditional bridge. Native USDC via Circle CCTP also offers a clean channel for moving liquidity in and out of the Cronos ecosystem from any chain compatible with 1inch.
