The 1inch DAO's Aqua incubator has a $400,000 development pool for teams proposing new strategies and SwapVM instructions, with applications accepted on a rolling basis.

That amount is part of a $436,000 total budget approved Mar. 8, 2026. The remaining $36,000 is designated for program stewardship. Each team may receive up to $50,000, and the available funding pool is finite.

1inch is a decentralized exchange aggregator that routes trades across liquidity sources. The incubator supports development tied to the 1inch ecosystem.
