1inch has teamed up with Rewardy Wallet to remove one of DeFi’s most annoying UX hurdles: the need to hold native gas tokens for swaps across multiple chains. By embedding 1inch’s Swap API into Rewardy’s in-app swap flow and using EIP-7702, Rewardy users can now pay transaction fees in the wallet’s native token, RWD, instead of juggling Ether, BNB or other chain-specific gas coins.
How it works
- Rewardy integrates the 1inch Swap API across five networks — Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism — so swaps routed through 1inch’s liquidity aggregation and routing engine get optimized pricing and execution.
- Account abstraction and EIP-7702 enable a gasless user experience: transaction fees are billed in RWD rather than the chain’s native token, letting users swap cross-chain without manually topping up gas assets or adjusting network settings.
Why it matters
- Requiring native gas tokens has long caused stalled or failed transactions and added friction for newcomers. This integration streamlines the process, lowering a practical barrier to DeFi adoption while preserving self-custody and on-chain execution quality.
- For 1inch, the deal continues its playbook of embedding infrastructure into consumer-facing wallets to broaden access. Rewardy benefits from 1inch’s aggregation to offer better pricing and deeper liquidity inside a simpler UX.
Voices from the teams
- “DeFi is still too complicated for most people, and gas tokens are one of the biggest reasons,” said Rewardy CEO Yoon Jeon. “By partnering with 1inch and leveraging EIP-7702, we’re removing unnecessary steps and making swaps feel as simple as any modern financial app without compromising on self-custody or execution quality.”
- 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz added: “If DeFi is to reach its first billion users, the experience must be seamless and secure. Through the integration of our Swap API, wallets like Rewardy are helping drive a more intuitive and accessible future for users.”
Bottom line
The partnership offers a smoother on-ramp for users who want cross-chain swaps without managing multiple gas tokens, and signals more collaboration between aggregator infrastructure providers and wallet teams as DeFi chases mainstream adoption.
