The 1inch token is used as a governance token for the 1inch network, which is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that connects multiple DEXes into one platform, and allows its users to find the most efficient swapping routes across all platforms. 1inch allows traders to source the best liquidity options and rates from different exchanges without having to check them manually.
1inch was founded by Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov, and was launched in 2020. It is backed by several influential investors, including Binance Labs, Galaxy Digital, Greenfield One, Libertus Capital, and Dragonfly Capital. The network is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

The Bakery Token fuels the Bakery Swap ecosystem, which offers liquidity pools for a variety of altcoins. Users can earn BAKE tokens by providing liquidity on Bakery Swap's platform in exchange for a portion of the trading fees generated. Bakery Token holders can also use their tokens to participate in governance voting and to receive transaction fee dividends. Bakery Swap uses a decentralized automated market-making (AMM) protocol that is built on the Binance Smart Chain. It was created by an anonymous group of developers and is governed by a DAO structure.
