1inch Unveils Protocol Letting Multiple DeFi Strategies Share the Same Capital

1inch has announced Aqua, a new liquidity protocol that enables DeFi applications to share a single capital base across multiple strategies without compromising user custody. Aqua introduces a 'shared liquidity layer' allowing capital from one wallet to support various trading strategies simultaneously. Users can now authorize their tokens for different strategies, like automated market makers and stable swap pools, while maintaining the ability to manage their assets across multiple DeFi roles, such as providing liquidity, voting, or posting collateral. This innovation aims to enhance both capital efficiency and utility, allowing liquidity providers to maximize the use of their funds. The developer tools for Aqua, including an SDK and libraries, are available on GitHub, with a full front end expected in early 2026. 1inch co-founder Anton Bukov emphasized that this model allows for improved flexibility in liquidity management, shifting the limitation of capital efficiency to the users’ strategies instead of being confined to a single smart contract.
