1inch at Tokyo 2026

縁About 1inch — in their words

“1inch is a network of decentralized protocols that focus on unifying DeFi liquidity. Most known for our DEX aggregator launched in 2019, we have continued to improve and ship protocol, maintaining our position as one of the premiere players in the token swapping space. Our most recent release, Aqua, reimagines how DEXes are designed and is a perfect candidate for creative hackathon teams.”

壱Track one — 💧 Build an Aqua App · $5,000

🥇 $2,500 · 🥈 $1,500 · 🥉 $1,000 — scratch track.

“Create a custom Aqua app that implements a sophisticated DeFi position. If you use SwapVM, you may modify SwapVM opcodes and define your own instructions. The final positions must be demonstrated through tests scripts or a UI. Projects that utilize SwapVM will be scored higher during the final judging.”

The qualification requirements:

• The official Aqua/SwapVM contracts must be used — redeployments of a modified SwapVM contract are allowed.
• Onchain execution of token transfers should be presented during the final demo — local forks are ok.
• A proper Git commit history — no single-commit entries on the final day.

弐Track two — 💦 Build an Aqua App · Continuity Track · $2,000

🥇 $1,500 · 🥈 $500 — 🆕 continuity track only.

The same brief, the same bar: a custom Aqua app implementing a sophisticated DeFi position; SwapVM opcodes may be modified and new instructions defined; positions demonstrated through test scripts or a UI; SwapVM usage scored higher; official contracts; onchain execution in the demo; a proper commit history.
