<p>1inch, a decentralized exchange aggregator, recently experienced a massive unlock that saw tokens currently worth $111 million released from their vesting schedule.</p> <p>Nearly 227.2 million 1inch tokens — that account for almost 15% of the total supply of 1.5 billion tokens — were unlocked on Dec. 1.
