1Inch Token Loses New Year Eve Momentum As Volume Drops
1Inch token recorded its highest daily trading volume on New Year’s eve with over $248 million, however, the momentum fizzled out on new year registering more than a 51% drop to record a daily volume of $107 million.
The newly launched governance token is a Binance backed project and has already been listed on Huobi, FTX, KuCoin, Kucoin, and OKEx. 1Inch’s new instant governance was widely discussed at the time of the launch as it would allow for the direct interaction of the community for the protocol changes. The firm explained how its instant governance model would help in community participation and better protocol changes. The firm said,
1inch Network is launching with “instant governance”, a new feature that allows the community to vote for specific protocol settings under the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) model, in a transparent, user-friendly, and efficient way.
The new governance model would allow the community to participate, benefit, and vote for specific protocol settings without any barrier to entry.
