How 1inch and Matcha (0x) differ on routing, chains and what they’re best at.
| 1inch | Matcha (0x) | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | DEX aggregator | DEX aggregator |
| Type | Router + Intent | Classic router |
| 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. | Routes through the 0x aggregation API across many DEXes and RFQ market makers and settles in one transaction. Adds limit orders and DCA. |
| Chains | 12+ (EVM + Solana) | 16+ (EVM + Solana) |
| Highlight | $700B+ lifetime volume | 0x powers Coinbase, MetaMask, Robinhood |
| Best for | The all-round multichain default | A clean UI on proven infra |
Pick 1inch for the all-round multichain default; pick Matcha (0x) for a clean ui on proven infra.
