Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has expanded its consumer wallet integrations through a new partnership with Rewardy Wallet, allowing users to swap tokens across multiple blockchains without holding native gas tokens such as ETH, BNB or MATIC.
The integration brings the 1inch Swap API directly into Rewardy Wallet’s in-app swap interface, allowing users to execute cross-chain swaps while paying transaction fees in Rewardy’s native token, RWD.
By abstracting gas payments away from network-specific tokens the update removes one of DeFi’s most persistent friction points and reduces the likelihood of failed transactions caused by insufficient gas balances.
Removing Gas Tokens From the User Experience
Gas management has long been a barrier to mainstream DeFi adoption, particularly for newer users navigating multiple blockchain networks. The requirement to hold the correct native token for each chain often results in stalled or failed transactions and adds unnecessary complexity to everyday crypto use.
By eliminating the need to pre-purchase native gas tokens, the integration delivers a cleaner, more intuitive experience that aligns with the expectations users have of modern financial applications, while preserving self-custody and execution quality.
Powered by 1inch’s Aggregation Infrastructure
Through the integration of the 1inch Swap API, Rewardy Wallet gains access to aggregation and routing infrastructure. The firm claims users benefit from optimized pricing and liquidity across supported chains, all executed within Rewardy’s in-app swap environment.
The setup allows swapping across Ethereum, BNB Chain and other supported networks without requiring users to manage network settings or gas assets manually.
Built on Account Abstraction and EIP-7702
Rewardy Wallet is built around account abstraction and gasless UX principles, with the gas-free swap experience through EIP-7702. This allows transaction fees to be paid using RWD instead of native network tokens, reducing onboarding friction and simplifying cross-chain activity.
“DeFi is still too complicated for most people, and gas tokens are one of the biggest reasons,” said Yoon Jeon, CEO of Rewardy Wallet. “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 Pushes Toward Mainstream Adoption
“If DeFi is to reach its first billion users, the experience must be seamless and secure,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch. “Through the integration of our Swap API, wallets like Rewardy are helping drive a more intuitive and accessible future for users.”
The integration also supports swaps across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism, and marks another step in 1inch’s strategy of embedding its infrastructure into consumer-ready platforms.
