1inch launches shared liquidity protocol Aqua, supporting reuse of assets within the wallet across multiple positions

TechFlow reports, on July 28, 1inch announced the launch of the Aqua shared liquidity protocol. The protocol allows liquidity providers to support multiple liquidity positions using the same wallet balance without depositing tokens into liquidity pools; assets are transferred only upon trade execution and remain in the user's wallet otherwise.

Aqua aims to address issues such as idle DeFi liquidity, fragmentation, and insufficient capital utilization, and through self-custody mechanisms and single position ownership design, reduce custodial risks and the impact of JIT (Just-In-Time) attacks on fee revenue. 1inch stated that the protocol currently supports 13 EVM chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain.
