Types of swaps:

Market Swap:

The Classic Swap uses the classic 1inch Aggregation Protocol, which efficiently routes trades across multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXes). This ensures optimal pricing, low slippage, and secure atomic transactions via a broad range of liquidity sources.

Limit orders:

Limit orders let you specify the exact price at which you want to buy or sell a token—no slippage or front-running risk involved. Just set your target price, and the order will execute automatically when the market reaches that level.

Bonus: When a limit order executes, the taker (not you) pays the gas fee!
​(Note: An approval gas fee may still apply for some tokens.)

How to use Market Swap on 1inch

Before swapping tokens, you will need a balance of network-native tokens in the wallet to cover gas fees for both the approval and the swap itself.

To swap assets on 1inch, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the 1inch Pro interface
    Go to https://1inch.com/pro, click “Connect Wallet” in the upper-right corner, and connect your wallet. (Need help? See the See wallet connection guide.)
    Then switch to the Market tab.

  2. Select tokens
    Choose the asset you want to buy or sell in the pair picker.
    You can access the pair picker from the Pair Watchlist or Pair Overview widgets.

  3. Enter the amount
    Input the desired amount in either the Total or Amount field, depending on your action:

    • When buying, type the total number of tokens you want to receive (e.g., Total 1INCH).

    • When selling, type the amount of tokens you want to swap (e.g., Amount USDT).

    The system will automatically calculate the corresponding value in the other field.

  4. Adjust settings (optional)
    Review the selected tokens and amounts, and customize the following parameters if needed:

  5. Approve the token (if required)
    If the token hasn’t been approved (or isn’t a Permit Token), you’ll first need to sign an approval transaction. This transaction doesn’t transfer any tokens — it simply allows the smart contract to interact with them.
    ​(A gas fee applies.)

  6. Execute the swap
    After approval, confirm the swap in your wallet.
    Once the transaction is submitted, a confirmation banner will appear at the bottom of the page.

Congratulations! You've completed a classic swap on 1inch.

How to track your trading history

The Your Trades widget provides a clear overview of your swap and order history, allowing active traders to track and analyze their transactions in detail.

It displays:

  • Fusion Orders — Completed executions

  • Classic Swaps — Executed and pending transactions

  • Limit Orders — All states (Active, Pending, Executed)

Cross-chain orders are shown in the main Account Box history, not in this widget.

Powerful filters make it easy to organize data by status, token, or type, and you can sort trades by any column.


Each entry shows key trade details such as type, amounts, price, USD value, timestamp, and status.

Click any trade to view full transaction details in the Account Box sidebar, including the breakdown, execution price, gas fees, and a direct block explorer link.
