1inch Network has launched its Pathfinder algorithm, a new solution designed to optimize token swaps across decentralized exchanges. The algorithm significantly improves swap rates by up to 6.5% while simultaneously reducing gas consumption through intelligent route optimization across multiple liquidity sources.
This innovation addresses growing DeFi user demands for cost-efficient trading by consolidating swap steps and maximizing liquidity utilization across various DEXs. Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch, emphasized that Pathfinder enables traders to extract maximum value from transactions, establishing new industry benchmarks for trade execution efficiency.
The deployment follows 1inch’s record $7.26 billion daily trading volume, underscoring its market leadership. Pathfinder’s introduction reflects a broader DeFi trend toward algorithm-driven tools prioritizing both cost reduction and enhanced user experience, further solidifying 1inch’s competitive position in the decentralized finance landscape.
