1inch Launches Trade Mode, Rebrands Pro to Terminal and Cuts Swap Times
1inch rolled out a major set of upgrades today, bringing a cleaner trading experience, a renamed advanced interface and a measurable bump in swap speed across its infrastructure. The changes, centered on a newly introduced Trade Mode, the rebranding of Pro to 1inch Terminal, and backend execution improvements, are the product team’s response to user data and community feedback collected since last year’s redesign of 1inch.com.
The new Trade Mode aims to marry professional workflows with greater clarity. Rather than crowding advanced features into a single crowded page, Trade Mode presents a structured interface that highlights execution settings and trade visibility. Classic swaps remain, but users can now tweak gas and slippage on a per-trade basis, place and manage limit orders with full lifecycle tracking, and inspect routing and liquidity paths before they confirm.
Integrated price charts and clearer market context appear alongside improved transaction history and order status views, and there is a dedicated entry point for traders who want every advanced feature within immediate reach. These changes reflect a push toward transparency and control without sacrificing usability.
Alongside Trade Mode, 1inch has repositioned its Pro experience as 1inch Terminal. Originally launched as Pro to give traders more granular execution options than Simple Swap, the upgraded Terminal expands on that promise: users gain custom gas and slippage settings, a beefed-up trade history that surfaces every limit order, an improved pair picker with favorites, and a network selector placed prominently in the header. The rename is more than cosmetic. It signals a mature toolset intended for experienced traders who want deep control inside a single, consistent workbench.
Under the hood, the most tangible user benefit comes from faster swap execution. 1inch says intent-based swap execution is now nearly twice as fast on median, falling from 26 seconds to roughly 14 seconds, with a quarter of swaps settling in under nine seconds. Cross-chain routes have also been optimized so that swaps, which once took minutes, now clear in seconds on selected paths.
Giving Traders More Control and Speed
Those gains are the result of execution tuning that reduces idle waiting during finality and validation phases and tailors timing to each network rather than using conservative, one-size-fits-all parameters. Importantly, the company maintains the same non-custodial trust model: execution is faster, not custodial. The performance work builds on a string of prior engineering efforts at 1inch aimed at squeezing inefficiencies out of swaps and limit orders.
Recent upgrades, including earlier Pathfinder and Fusion iterations, have focused on smarter routing and intent-based execution, and this latest round appears to be an incremental but meaningful follow-through on that roadmap. For users, the net effect should be a smoother trading experience and less time spent waiting for trades to settle.
“When building any technology, an innovation feedback loop is essential. However, a careful balance must be struck between giving users exactly what they ask for and offering them new possibilities they haven’t considered,” said Sergej Kunz. “At 1inch, we have been innovating in the DeFi space since introducing DEX aggregation to the market in 2019, and our success is predicated on our ability to maintain that balance. Today’s raft of user-centric enhancements is designed to deliver greater clarity, control and performance. We heard you, we built, and today we ship.”
The timing of these updates matters. 1inch serves more than 26 million users and routes substantial daily volume, and any improvement in latency or interface clarity can compound into better outcomes for traders, lower slippage, fewer failed orders and a generally more confident user base. Beyond swaps, 1inch continues to expand an ecosystem of tools that includes a self-custodial wallet, portfolio tracker, business portal and even a debit card, all intended to make DeFi easier to use and more accessible.
With Trade Mode and Terminal live and swaps noticeably faster, 1inch is aiming to deliver a smoother, more polished experience without sacrificing the speed and control serious traders expect. If you prefer a cleaner, execution-focused workflow, try Trade Mode; if you want full control over gas, slippage and order management, Terminal puts those advanced tools front and center. And for those who pay attention to latency, the platform’s swap speed improvements are likely to be the upgrade they notice first.
