The 1inch DAO approved a $436,000 budget for its Aqua incubator on Mar. 8, 2026, directing most of it toward proposals to develop the 1inch ecosystem.
The program sets aside $400,000 for teams proposing new strategies and SwapVM instructions. The remaining $36,000 is for program stewardship.
Awards can reach $50,000 per team, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The development pool is finite.
1inch operates a decentralized exchange aggregator that routes trades among liquidity sources. The incubator supports development tied to that ecosystem.
