DEX aggregator 1inch launches new liquidity protocol Aqua

Mars Finance reports that on November 17th, decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch launched a new liquidity protocol called Aqua. This protocol aims to allow DeFi applications to share the same liquidity pool across multiple strategies while maintaining user custody. Developers can now obtain the Aqua software development kit, libraries, and technical documentation via GitHub, with the full front-end interface expected to launch in early 2026. Aqua constructs a so-called "shared liquidity layer," allowing funds in a single wallet to simultaneously support multiple trading strategies—in the traditional model, users must choose a single strategy and lock their funds in a specific smart contract. With Aqua, assets remain in the user's wallet, and funds are only accessed by the strategy during actual trade execution.
