For years, DeFi has been built around a simple idea: lock liquidity into pools. The cost of that model is inefficiency, a large share of capital sits idle while protocols compete for TVL.

Aqua by @1inch / @1inchdevs challenges this approach with shared, self-custodial liquidity. Assets stay in the user’s wallet but can support multiple strategies at the same time. This shifts competition away from attracting deposits toward building better strategies and execution logic.

Quick guide to using Aqua:

1. You don’t deposit funds - assets remain in your wallet.
2. Strategies get conditional access via Aqua smart contracts.
3. Tokens move only during an actual swap or settlement.
4. One balance can back several strategies in parallel.

Aqua is already live for developers. Smart contracts, SDKs, and examples are available on GitHub, with LP access planned next.
