1inch vs EigenCloud

1inch is a decentralized finance ecosystem focused on efficient crypto swaps and liquidity aggregation across multiple blockchain networks. Its swap technology aggregates liquidity from decentralized exchanges to find competitive execution routes, while intent-based infrastructure enables cross-chain swaps without requiring users to manually bridge assets. The broader 1inch ecosystem also includes wallet, portfolio and developer products, with APIs for swaps, market data, blockchain infrastructure and other Web3 services across 15+ networks.

EigenLayer is a restaking marketplace on Ethereum that lets ETH validators and LST holders opt‑in to provide crypto‑economic security to external ‘Actively Validated Services’ (AVSs). Participants earn additional yield by subjecting their stake to slashing conditions defined by each module, creating a shared‑security layer similar to Polkadot’s parachains. Mainnet restaking went live in April 2024, and over 4 million ETH had been opt‑in restaked by Q2 2025.
