Blockenthu is a cross-chain DEX aggregator that solves the fragmentation problem in DeFi by enabling seamless token swaps across multiple blockchains through a single interface. Built extensively using 1inch APIs, our platform aggregates liquidity from various DEXs and finds optimal swap routes across chains.
Key Features:
- Multi-chain swap support (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, Avalanche, and more)
- Extensive 1inch API integration for swap execution, price feeds, and market data
- AI-powered route optimization for best rates and lowest fees
- One-click cross-chain swaps with automatic bridging
- Real-time price comparison across multiple liquidity sources
- Gas optimization and slippage protection
The platform addresses critical pain points in cross-chain trading:
- Eliminates need to manually bridge tokens before swapping
- Reduces transaction fees through intelligent routing
- Provides unified access to fragmented liquidity across chains
- Simplifies complex cross-chain operations into single transactions
Built for the Unite DeFi hackathon, Blockenthu demonstrates the power of 1inch's infrastructure in creating next-generation DeFi applications that make blockchain interoperability accessible to everyone.
Blockenthu is built as a comprehensive DeFi application that extensively leverages the 1inch ecosystem:
1inch API Integrations:
- 1inch Aggregation API: Powers our core swap functionality across all supported chains
- Price API: Provides real-time token prices and market data for route optimization
- Balance API: Fetches user wallet balances across multiple chains
- Token API: Accesses token metadata and contract information
- Limit Orders API: Enables advanced trading features
- Cross-chain Swap (Fusion+): Facilitates seamless cross-chain transactions
Technical Stack:
- Frontend: React/Next.js with Web3 wallet integration (MetaMask, WalletConnect)
- Backend: Node.js/Express API server for route optimization
- Smart Contracts: Solidity contracts for cross-chain messaging and token handling
- Cross-chain Infrastructure: Integration with LayerZero, Axelar, and Wormhole protocols
- Database: Redis for caching swap routes and prices
Architecture:
- SwapManager orchestrates all swap operations
- RouteOptimizer uses 1inch APIs to find best paths across chains and DEXs
- CrossChainBridge handles token bridging when needed
- TransactionMonitor tracks swap progress across multiple chains
Key Technical Achievements:
- Implemented intelligent routing that compares direct swaps vs. bridge+swap paths
- Built real-time price aggregation from 1inch APIs across 10+ chains
- Created unified UX that abstracts blockchain complexity from users
- Developed gas optimization algorithms using 1inch price data
- Integrated with multiple bridge protocols for maximum cross-chain coverage
The project showcases how 1inch's robust API infrastructure can power sophisticated DeFi applications that push the boundaries of blockchain interoperability.
