BlockBeats message, March 27, 1inch announced the launch of the 1inch DAO Aqua yield-flow incubator, allocating $400,000 in funding to support Aqua strategies that can generate returns. Each team can receive up to $50,000 in grants, and the revenue share will be returned to the DAO treasury.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, 1inch's report shows that 83% - 95% of the liquidity in mainstream Decentralized Finance (DeFi) liquidity pools such as Uniswap and Curve is idle, with billions of dollars in funds not generating fee income or any returns. This inefficiency issue has a particularly severe impact on retail liquidity providers: 50% of retail investors incur losses due to impermanent loss, with total net losses exceeding 60 million dollars. 1inch proposed to solve this problem through its Aqua protocol - this protocol allows DeFi applications to share a unified liquidity pool, aiming to optimize liquidity utilization, reduce capital fragmentation, and simultaneously enhance returns for liquidity providers.

Typically, users must choose a single strategy and lock their funds in a specific smart contract. However, with Aqua, these assets remain in the user's wallet and are only called upon by the strategy when a trade is executed. Specifically, liquidity providers can authorize their tokens for multiple strategies at the same time, such as self
