Beyond our primary goal, we were inspired by several brilliant ideas and fresh approaches that reimagine the future of DeFi as a whole.”

“Today, we've taken one of the most significant steps since the inception of 1inch towards unlocking the full potential of decentralized finance,” he added. “But our work is just beginning. We will continue to champion and support innovators, drive progress within the space, and most importantly, help build a truly united DeFi ecosystem.”

Meanwhile, on top of the prizes, hackathon winners will have the opportunity to plug into the 1inch ecosystem, which powers billions in volume and reaches millions of users across the globe.
