How is Aqua different from a normal liquidity pool / AMM?

Written by Borna Buinac

In a normal liquidity pool you deposit tokens into one pool, and those tokens only work in that pool. With 1inch Aqua, your tokens stay in your wallet and the same balance can back many positions at once. You provide liquidity across more pairs without splitting your tokens or depositing them.

1inch Aqua is a shared liquidity layer, not a single-pool model. You provide liquidity by opening positions that quote against the tokens in your wallet. Many positions can share one wallet balance, and tokens move only when a swap fills, so you keep full self-custody throughout.
