1inch unlocks direct Solana–EVM swaps: goodbye to bridges
The post 1inch unlocks direct Solana–EVM swaps: goodbye to bridges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
1inch has activated Solana–EVM cross‑chain swaps directly on DApp, Wallet, and Fusion+ API, connecting Solana to over 12 EVM networks without using bridges or messaging protocols. The feature is live since August 19, 2025 and, in practice, relies on chain escrow and a Dutch auction model with anti‑MEV protection. According to the data collected by our editorial team during testnet tests conducted between May and July 2025, the end-to-end executions showed variable latencies, typically in the order of tens of seconds up to a few minutes depending on the chains involved. Industry analysts note that the approach based on escrow and Dutch auctions tends to reduce centralized points of failure compared to traditional bridges. It is also noted that the finality of transactions on Solana is managed through the “finalized” commitment level as defined in the official documentation. Core update: trustless trades between Solana and EVM (and vice versa) without bridges, maintaining native liquidity on each chain. Where: on 1inch DApp, 1inch Wallet, and the Fusion+ API intended for integrations. How: use of escrow for chain and resolver that compete in a Dutch auction to win the best execution. 1inch Solana–EVM: what changes now With the new feature, users can convert assets between Solana and EVM environments without intermediate deposits and without wrapping. In other words, the operation reduces the typical friction of bridges, a segment historically exposed to significant exploits. For the end user, the appeal is clear: fewer steps, a transparent architecture, and liquidity not fragmented into derived tokens. It must be said that, for developers and integrators, the availability of API allows unified cross‑chain flows within apps and services. How it works: Fusion+, escrow, and Dutch auction The innovation arises from the adaptation of the Fusion+ architecture (already operational in exclusively EVM exchanges) to the logic and…
