1inch removed the need for traditional bridges by using resolvers. These resolvers stake 1INCH tokens and cover network fees for users

Quotes that support claims

Unlike traditional bridging solutions, where users typically pay network fees, 1inch’s system shifts the cost to “resolvers”—entities that stake 1INCH tokens in order to compete for offering the best swap rates. This approach enhances liquidity and ensures more competitive pricing for users.

Instead of relying on traditional bridges, the system employs a mechanism based on “resolver,” which are network actors that cover the network fees on behalf of the users.

1inch’s system offers an alternative to traditional bridging. Network fees are covered by “resolvers” instead of users themselves. These resolvers, which must stake 1INCH tokens to have that status, compete with each other to ensure users get the best possible rates.
