« on: June 10, 2021, 09:07:53 PM »

The term “unpredictable” has almost become synonymous with the crypto industry at this point, as was on full display recently when technology juggernaut Google decided to un-ban digital asset exchanges from using its advertisement services after a lengthy period of almost three years.

In this regard, a policy update blog released by the firm stated that come Aug. 3, it will once again allow crypto exchange and wallet operators to advertise “those products and services that are certified by Google.”

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) / 1inch releases composable Limit Order Protocol

« on: June 10, 2021, 09:06:00 PM »

Today, decentralized exchange and liquidity aggregator 1inch announce the launch of the 1inch Limit Order Protocol. The new feature boasts 5 different security audits, and will enable users to buy or sell assets at specific price targets on Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon. The new feature will also be able to interact with smart contract logic, and be able to execute orders based on oracle data.

Limit orders were previously available to the DeFi ecosystem through a variety of protocols including Gelato and 0x, the latter which 1inch utilized. However, the team claims this new protocol will be more gas-efficient and secure in that it does not require admin keys, and that the protocol will add additional value to the ecosystem via composability with other protocols, such as Uniswap v3.
