The 1inch Network is happy to present you the April digest of major news and updates.

Updates, news and integrations

In early April, the 1inch Card was released, enabling users to spend their crypto for online and in-person purchases and make cash withdrawals at supported ATMs through seamless crypto to fiat conversion.

Issued by Crypto Life and powered exclusively by the Mastercard network, the 1inch Card aims to make the user journey even more seamless. Through instant conversion from crypto to fiat currency, the 1inch Card allows users to spend their crypto to pay for online and offline purchases around the world wherever Mastercard is accepted, while still retaining custody of their funds.

The 1inch Card comes in the form of a physical card, as well as a virtual card, providing users with all benefits of a standard debit card.

Meanwhile, the 1inch Wallet’s version v2.3.2 for iOS was released, offering users advanced token management and a revamped address book.
