How 1inch and KyberSwap differ on routing, chains and what they’re best at.
| 1inch | KyberSwap | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | DEX aggregator | DEX aggregator |
| Type | Router + Intent | Meta-aggregator |
| How it works | Pathfinder splits your trade across dozens of DEXes for the best price; Fusion mode turns it into a gasless intent filled by resolvers via a Dutch auction, with built-in MEV protection. | The KyberSwap Aggregator routes across Uniswap, Sushi, Curve and dozens more plus Kyber’s own Elastic/Classic AMMs. KyberSwap × NEAR Intents (2026) routes native BTC/DOGE/NEAR without wrapped assets. |
| Chains | 12+ (EVM + Solana) | 15+ EVM (+ NEAR Intents) |
| Highlight | $700B+ lifetime volume | ~31% of ETH aggregator volume (2026) |
| Best for | The all-round multichain default | Top ETH share + native BTC routing |
Pick 1inch for the all-round multichain default; pick KyberSwap for top eth share + native btc routing.
