1inch wallet

What is 1INCH (1INCH)?

The 1inch aggregator splits a single trade across many decentralised exchanges to find a better route than any one of them offers. 1INCH is the token governing that network: holders vote in the DAO on protocol settings, and resolvers - the parties that fill orders in 1inch's auction-based order flow - back their role by locking 1INCH.

Locking is the mechanic to understand before you move anything. Staked 1INCH becomes st1INCH, a non-transferable position tied to a chosen lock period; the longer the lock, the more weight it carries, and the tokens are unavailable until it expires. That is a commitment, not a place to keep a working balance.

The token also lives on more than one network. Ethereum holds the original ERC-20 and the governance system; the versions on other chains are separate deployments with their own addresses, and a balance on one does not appear on another without bridging. This trips people up constantly because the ticker and the icon look identical everywhere.

Supported networks in Tangem (8): zkSync, Robinhood, Arbitrum One, Base, Ethereum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche.

Tangem shows each of those balances on its own line and spells out the network a transfer is leaving on in the confirmation the card signs - verifying it is still your job, because the same address string is valid across every EVM chain and nothing on chain reveals which one the recipient watches. Combined with a key that stays in the card, it is a practical home for a token you hold to vote with rather than to shuffle.
