1inch launches a new protocol, Aqua, allowing multiple DeFi strategies to share the same capital base.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 1inch has released a new liquidity protocol, Aqua, designed to address liquidity fragmentation and capital efficiency issues in DeFi. Aqua introduces a "shared liquidity layer" that allows funds from the same wallet to support multiple trading strategies simultaneously without locking funds in specific smart contracts, thus preserving users' asset custody rights.

Liquidity providers can authorize their tokens to be used in multiple strategies simultaneously (such as AMM, stablecoin swap pools, or custom logic), with funds only being used by the strategy during trade execution.

This model improves capital efficiency and enhances utility efficiency. Because funds are not locked in a liquidity pool, users can use these assets simultaneously to provide liquidity, participate in governance voting, or serve as collateral on lending platforms.

Currently, developers can obtain the Aqua Software Development Kit (SDK) and documentation through GitHub, with a complete front-end interface expected to launch in early 2026. (CoinDesk)
