The 1inch Aggregation Protocol routes users' trades through the most efficient path for a token swap and aggregates multiple non-custodial exchanges.

The 1inch Network unites multiple decentralized protocols built on Ethereum and other blockchains. This dashboard tracks the 1inch Aggregation Protocol, which is a non-custodial DEX aggregator. 1inch was founded by Sergej Kunz & Anton Bukov and launched in 2019.

The 1inch Network is governed by 1inch DAO – a decentralized autonomous organization. Voting on the DAO is performed through the 1INCH token, a governance token, that was initially distributed to the community of 1inch Network users in late 2020. They currently do not take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue). 1inch's investors include ParaFi Capital, FTX Exchange, Pantera Capital, etc.

# 1inch Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The 1inch token supply maximum metric represents the theoretical maximum number of 1INCH tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics design. This is a constant value of 1.5 billion tokens that was established at the token's launch on December 25, 2020. Unlike circulating supply which changes over time through minting and burning, the maximum supply is a fixed protocol parameter that serves as the upper bound for total token issuance.

## 2. Data sources

This metric is derived from:
- **Protocol tokenomics documentation**: The maximum supply specification from 1inch protocol's official tokenomics design
- **Token contract specifications**: Hard-coded maximum supply parameters defined in the 1inch token smart contract
- **Token launch records**: The official launch date of the 1inch token from blockchain deployment records

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Protocol constants definition
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fundamental tokenomics parameters for the 1inch token
- **Logic**: The calculation uses hard-coded protocol constants rather than deriving values from blockchain data. The launch timestamp is set to December 25, 2020 at midnight UTC, marking the official deployment date of the 1inch token. The maximum supply is set to exactly 1,500,000,000 tokens (1.5 billion), which represents the theoretical upper limit of tokens that can ever be minted according to the protocol design
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (token launch date), `timestamp_grain` (daily aggregation level), `token_supply_maximum` (1.5 billion tokens)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Since this is a single constant value, no combination of multiple components is required
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable as this metric represents token quantity, not USD value
- **Time aggregation**: The metric uses a daily grain and employs a fill-forward strategy, meaning the same maximum supply value of 1.5 billion tokens is propagated across all time periods from the launch date onward
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the constant maximum supply of 1,500,000,000 1INCH tokens, standardized through the finalization macro to ensure consistent formatting and metadata across Token Terminal's metrics framework
