1inch Monthly Digest: October 2023

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

Updates, news and integrations

In October, version 1.17.0 of the 1inch Wallet for Android was released. The main highlight of the upgrade was the address book feature, earlier made available for iOS users. 

With the address book feature, users can directly add contacts to their address book, as well as save addresses after submitting transactions with new ones. All contacts are sorted alphabetically, with contacts’ names and addresses prominently displayed. The ‘Recents’ section features addresses to which the user has lately transferred assets, sorted from the newest to the oldest transaction.

In late October, 1inch and Trust Wallet launched the second stage of the swap competition Need for Swap with a 25,000 USDC prize pool. The first stage, which drew to a close a month ago, attracted quite a number of participants.
