1inch Partners With Barter To Enhance Resolver Network And Optimize Intent-Based DeFi Trading
In Brief
1inch has partnered with Barter to enhance its resolver network, improving efficiency, trade execution, and user experience in intent-based DeFi trading.
Decentralised finance (DeFi) platform 1inch has announced a collaboration with Barter, a prominent solver, to enhance its resolver network and improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of intent-based trading.
This partnership strengthens 1inch’s position as a key platform for intent-driven cryptocurrency swaps, where resolvers have facilitated trades totaling $52.6 billion since late 2023.
According to Nikita Ovchinnik, co-founder of Barter, resolvers on 1inch have facilitated trades totaling $52.6 billion, with Barter, as the largest solver on CoW Swap, accounting for approximately 40% of the volume and processing over $18 billion in transactions.
“Bringing Barter into the 1inch resolver roster adds proven capacity and route diversity, delivering better realized prices for retail and predictable, benchmarkable execution for institutions,” said Nikita Ovchinnik to Mpost. “This partnership scales intents beyond niche use and makes them investable at 1inch’s reach,” he added.
With Barter joining the network, users can expect improved rates and more consistent trade settlements under varying market conditions, supporting the platform’s goal of attracting a broader range of DeFi participants.
Barter is recognized for its user-focused execution, emphasizing price optimization, slippage minimization, and MEV-aware settlements. Its design aims to identify the most efficient routes across multiple liquidity sources, providing a seamless and secure trading experience that complements 1inch’s infrastructure.
“Barter is a recognized leading solver on CoW Swap. By joining the 1inch resolver network, we expand route diversity per order across DEXs, other aggregators, and professional market-makers while applying MEV-aware settlement,” said Nikita Ovchinnik, to Mpost. “Barter builds routes on its own integration network and specialized router. Barter’s upcoming unique product, Superposition, enables direct routing through user-held liquidity, reducing fragmentation and significantly improving DeFi execution efficiency,” he highlighted.
1inch And Barter Collaboration Sets The Stage For Industry-Wide DeFi Execution Rails
“Resolvers play a critical role in the integrity and efficiency of our intent-based technology, forming the essential execution layer that ensures trades are seamless, secure, and cost-effective for users,” said Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder, in a written statement.
“By partnering with Barter, we are adding a vertically integrated resolver that shares our commitment to a frictionless, gasless trade execution and brings unique expertise in user experience and slippage reduction,” he added.
The collaboration between 1inch and Barter reflects a shift toward more cooperative infrastructure development within DeFi, potentially shaping future industry standards.
“DeFi is consolidating around shared execution rails. 1inch provides standardized resolver interfaces and a large, diverse order flow, and Barter contributes vertically integrated, MEV-aware execution. Aligning solvers and protocols on fairness, efficiency, and user-first outcomes is how you turn ‘best route’ marketing into verifiable standards, with open measurement becoming the norm,” emphasised Nikita Ovchinnik.
