Co founder Anton Bukov leaves 1inch

The 1inch team officially confirmed that co founder Anton Bukov has not been involved in its operations since December 2025. This statement follows public comments from Bukov, who stated he was fired from the decentralized exchange project.

Bukov has already moved on to a new project called Second Tier. He plans to focus his efforts on this new venture within the decentralized finance space.

1inch remains a significant player in the trading market. Traders and users will now watch to see how the platform manages this leadership change and if the project shifts its focus following the exit of one of its founding members.
