Expand your trading options: 1inch cross-chain swaps now feature ZKsync

ZKsync is now available for cross-chain swaps on 1inch, adding more flexibility to your trades.

1inch cross-chain swaps now connect with ZKsync, offering you a fresh way to trade between networks. Whether you prefer 1inch dApp or 1inch Wallet, consider making ZKsync’s efficiency part of your cross-chain strategy.

What makes 1inch cross-chain swaps stand out?

Released in beta last September, 1inch cross-chain swaps have already facilitated millions in trading volume – and for good reason. Our Fusion+ technology is built to enable seamless, self-custodial and gas-free cross-chain transactions. That means you keep full ownership of your assets, completing in just a few clicks, with resolvers covering the network fees. The result is a hassle-free alternative to bridging. And with ZKsync integrated, you now benefit from an even wider range of options.

Why DeFi users choose ZKsync

Many traders have already made ZKsync their go-to network, and it's easy to see why. First, you’ll notice the gas fees – they are typically much lower than Ethereum’s Layer 1 costs, making those frequent or smaller trades more practical. Your transactions will clear faster too, with near-instant execution that keeps things moving smoothly. And while you're enjoying the speed and savings, ZKsync’s ZK-Rollup technology works with Ethereum’s security to keep your assets protected.

Given its efficiency, security and strong adoption, ZKsync has been an integral part of the 1inch ecosystem for a long time. It was only natural to extend ZKsync support  to cross-chain swaps.

Under the hood

ZKsync uses zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-Rollups) to pack multiple transactions into a single proof that Ethereum can verify. This clever approach keeps your trading data private while ensuring everything stays secure. Instead of processing each transaction separately, Ethereum just checks the proof – saving time and cutting costs. By handling thousands of transactions off-chain but anchoring them to Ethereum’s security, ZKsync delivers the best of both worlds: speed and trust. 

Looking at the bigger picture, ZKsync has steadily grown into one of the most practical Layer 2 solutions out there. Major DeFi platforms like Uniswap, Aave and others support the chain, and developers can easily bring their Ethereum-compatible projects over. 

What’s next for ZKsync?

The 2025 roadmap is bold: the chain is nearing 10,000 transactions every second and working on technology that could eventually eliminate fees altogether. While that’s still in development, the current integration already gives you a faster, more cost-effective way to swap.
