1inch has launched Fusion+, a solution designed to enhance cross-chain swaps by removing the need for traditional cross-chain bridges. These bridges have been associated with significant security risks. Fusion+ utilizes atomic swap technology, cryptographic protections, and a Dutch auction mechanism to provide secure and user-friendly transactions across multiple blockchains. Key features include security through architectural design, an intuitive user experience requiring minimal setup, optimal trade rates via competitive resolvers, and trustless transactions facilitated by cryptographic methods. The process begins with users initiating a swap by setting a desired minimum return, followed by funds being escrowed while cryptographic protections are in place. Once all conditions are satisfied, the user’s tokens are unlocked on the destination blockchain. This innovation addresses challenges in DeFi, making it more accessible to a broader audience and reducing risks related to hacks. Fusion+ can be accessed easily through the 1inch dApp and Wallet, simplifying the swap process for users.
