1inch Investigation Services
Decode complex aggregator routes and trace funds through 1inch's multi-protocol swaps. Expert analysis of the leading DEX aggregator used across 8+ networks.
Unraveling Aggregator Complexity
1inch revolutionized DeFi trading by aggregating liquidity from dozens of DEXs to find optimal swap routes. A single 1inch transaction might split across Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, SushiSwap, and more—all in one atomic operation. This complexity creates investigation challenges that require specialized expertise.
For investigators, 1inch swaps can appear as black boxes: tokens go in, different tokens come out, but the internal routing is opaque without proper decoding. Our analysis breaks open these transactions, revealing each protocol touched, amounts routed through each path, and the complete fund flow.
Whether you're tracing stolen funds that were converted through 1inch, documenting trading activity for tax compliance, or investigating suspicious swap patterns, our aggregator expertise ensures no detail is lost in the complexity.
How 1inch Aggregation Works
Example: $100,000 ETH to USDC Swap
A large swap through 1inch might execute like this:
- 45% → Uniswap V3 ETH/USDC 0.05% pool
- 30% → Curve tricrypto2 pool (ETH → USDT) + 3pool (USDT → USDC)
- 15% → Balancer ETH/USDC weighted pool
- 10% → SushiSwap V2 ETH/USDC
All of this happens in a single transaction. We decode each leg for complete transparency.
This splitting optimizes execution price but creates complex on-chain data. Without proper decoding, investigators might see only the inputs and outputs, missing the complete picture of where funds actually flowed.
Investigation Services
Specialized aggregator analysis for every use case
Complex Swap Unraveling
1inch swaps often route through 5-10 protocols in a single transaction. We decode the complete route, showing each DEX touched and amounts exchanged at every step.
Stolen Fund Tracing
Criminals use aggregators to get best execution when converting stolen assets. We trace through 1inch swaps regardless of complexity, identifying the underlying DEXs and continuing the trail.
Fusion Trade Analysis
1inch Fusion enables gasless swaps via resolvers. We track these off-chain-signed, on-chain-executed trades with full transparency.

Aggregator transactions create complex tax situations. We provide clear breakdowns of what was exchanged, through which protocols, at what prices.
Source of Funds Verification
Trace token origins through 1inch swaps for compliance documentation, decomposing aggregated routes into understandable fund flows.

1inch Fusion Investigation
What is Fusion Mode?
1inch Fusion enables gasless swaps where users sign orders off-chain, and professional "resolvers" execute them on-chain. This includes MEV protection and Dutch auction mechanics for price discovery.
Investigation Approach
Fusion creates unique investigation requirements. We track the signed order, resolver execution, actual fill price vs. expected price, and any MEV captured. Complete transparency despite the off-chain signing component.
1inch Investigation FAQ
Why is 1inch investigation more complex than single-DEX tracking?
1inch is a DEX aggregator that finds optimal swap routes across many protocols. A single 1inch transaction might route through Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, and others simultaneously. We decode these complex routes to show exactly where funds went through each protocol.
Can you trace through 1inch Fusion swaps?
Yes, we fully support 1inch Fusion (formerly Limit Order Protocol v3). Fusion swaps are signed off-chain and executed by resolvers on-chain. We track the complete transaction including resolver execution, counterparty matching, and settlement details.
How do you handle multi-protocol routes?
We decode each leg of a 1inch route separately, showing the exact path: which DEX, which pools, what amounts at each step. A swap that touches Uniswap V3, Curve, and SushiSwap in one transaction is fully decomposed into understandable components.
What networks does 1inch investigation cover?
We support 1inch across all major networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Gnosis Chain, Fantom, and others. Cross-chain 1inch activity via bridges is also tracked with continuity.
Can you identify the underlying protocols used?
Absolutely. Every 1inch swap is broken down by protocol: "45% through Uniswap V3 USDC/ETH pool, 35% through Curve 3pool, 20% through Balancer weighted pool." This detail is crucial for complete fund tracing.
How does 1inch investigation help with tax documentation?
1inch transactions can be tax nightmares—multiple simultaneous swaps through various protocols. We provide clear documentation showing the effective trade: what you sent, what you received, and accurate USD values, regardless of internal routing complexity.
Do criminals use 1inch to obscure fund trails?
Yes, aggregators are popular for converting stolen assets because they find the best rates for large amounts. However, the aggregation doesn't break our tracing—we decode the route and continue tracking through each underlying protocol.
What about 1inch limit orders?
We track 1inch limit order creation, fills, partial fills, and cancellations. For filled orders, we identify the counterparty (filler) and the execution details. Limit order tracking is important for understanding trading patterns.
