## Description

How can DeFi evolve to serve billions of users without breaking the EVM gas limits? In this fireside chat, Anton Bukov, co-founder of 1inch, discusses how protocol design, O(1) complexity, and innovations like 1inch Fusion can create more scalable, non-custodial solutions. From hackathon origins to cross-chain atomic swaps, learn how architectural optimizations, precompiles, and smart-contract best practices can deliver familiar entry points for global DeFi adoption.

Topics Covered:
• The 1inch journey from hackathon project to DeFi aggregator
• Achieving constant-time (O(1)) complexity for mass scalability
• Why gas will never be “enough” and how to design around constraints
• Credit card integrations for mainstream DeFi
• L2 scaling solutions, cross-chain bridging, and atomic swaps
• Building with self-custody in mind and the future of Fusion Plus
• Stay tuned for Anton’s insights on pushing DeFi UX forward while preserving security and efficiency—plus a preview of what’s next for 1inch in the race to onboard the next wave of crypto users.
