1inch has deployed its Exchange Aggregator and Limit Order protocols to the Arbitrum layer 2 network, the company said in a blog post.

Aggregated exchanges will include Uniswap v3, Sushi, Dodo, Balancer, and Swapr. In a statement to CoinDesk on Telegram the team claimed that they can add additional exchanges in under three days as more automated market makers (AMM) launch on Arbitrum.
