1inch has urged users who delegated Unicorn Power to a resolver to claim their $1INCH rewards by Nov. 27, 2026, warning that unclaimed rewards may be lost as it retires the delegation farming contracts.
The protocol’s help page says new delegations closed on Nov. 11. Existing delegators can still claim rewards and undelegate through Nov. 27. Users who only staked $1INCH, without delegating to a resolver, are unaffected and do not need to do anything.
Unicorn Power is earned by locking $1INCH in staking. Before the closure, holders could delegate that power to Fusion resolvers, trading operators that fill swaps, in exchange for rewards, according to 1inch’s explanation of the system. The shutdown affects this additional delegation-and-reward arrangement, not ordinary staking.
1inch said it was deprecating the contracts because of safety concerns following Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade, describing the delegation farming contracts as “no longer safe to use.”
An Ethereum Foundation notice updated Nov. 9 said Glamsterdam was still in testing and that core developers had delayed the hard-fork process. It warned that proposed gas-charge changes could break assumptions made by existing contracts.

1inch’s instructions direct existing delegators to the official delegation page, which now displays a deprecation notice. Users should connect their wallet, select Claim and sign the transaction in their wallet. They can also open their resolver’s card to view rewards and start the claim there. These transactions require gas fees.
The same page offers Undelegate to end the delegation. The help guide recommends claiming rewards and undelegating before the deadline; it does not say to withdraw the underlying stake. Unstaking is a separate action and can incur a penalty if the lock period has not ended.
After Nov. 27, rewards will no longer be claimable through the 1inch.network interface, the help page says. Unclaimed rewards will be held by the relevant resolver. Efforts will be made to return them to delegators, but recovery is not guaranteed.
