Before you use it
- Interacting with decentralized finance protocols and trading highly volatile assets (such as user-deployed memecoins) carries inherent risks of smart contract bugs, sudden liquidity drops, and permanent capital loss.
- While 1inch implements built-in MEV protection features, users executing standard on-chain transactions outside of protected routes remain potentially vulnerable to front-running and sandwich attacks depending on network conditions.
- Any third-party assertions regarding guaranteed profits, insider token selection tips, or external unverified "memecoin sniper" plugins associated with 1inch are unverified claims and do not originate from official 1inch documentation.
