Overview
Discontinuing collecting Swap Surplus means the 1inch Protocol loses its primary revenue source. Here on forward, there will be no significant revenue income to the protocol-owned treasury until further updates.
For 1inch users, there will be even better swap rates as any slippage caught will result in a better swap rate and return to the swapper.
The 1inch Network governance proposal aims to discontinue the collection of Swap Surplus, also known as positive slippage.
In December 2021, revenue collection was approximately $2 million per month, but in recent months, it has been a few hundred thousand per month.
The proposal is made with user experience and long-term growth in mind, offering better swap rates for users.
