What is Swipe (SXP)?

The platform Swipe is looking to form a bridge between the fiat and cryptocurrency worlds with its three main products: the Swipe multi-asset mobile wallet, the Swipe cryptocurrency-funded debit card and the Swipe Token (SXP).

The Swipe wallet acts as the main access point to the Swipe ecosystem. It can be used to store and manage a wide variety of assets — including both cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. The wallet can also be used to manage Swipe's second product - the Swipe debit card. This debit allows users to spend their cryptocurrencies at Visa payment terminals and comes in various flavours, each of which offers increasing perks and benefits.

This ecosystem is powered by the Swipe Token (SXP), which functions as the fuel for the Swipe Network, and is used for paying transaction fees. Holders of SXP tokens are eligible for exclusive discounts on the Swipe app and the token can be used for making fiat payments with the Swipe debit card.

Who founded Swipe?

Swipe was founded by Joselito Lizarondo, an early Bitcoin investor and individual with a wealth of experience in startup businesses. Lizarondo currently serves as CEO of the platform.

In addition, former senior creator at Vibial Group John Khenneth is the Swipe's COO, while Anecita Sotomil — a former tax and legal officer at PricewaterhouseCoopers — is its chief legal officer (CLO). Lastly, the Swipe executive team is rounded out with newly added CTO Henry Niduaza, an accomplished two-time CTO with more than thirty years of experience in banks, retail and fintech.

The entire Swipe team comprises just over a dozen individuals, including developers, engineers, marketing and community management staff. Swipe is the first crypto-oriented position for the majority of current team members. In July 2020, it was announced that Swipe was acquired by Binance — one of the world's leading digital asset exchanges — for an undisclosed sum.

How does Swipe works?

Swipe is designed to allow users to take full control over both their crypto and fiat finances through its easy to use the mobile application and associated range of crypto debit cards.

One of its key distinguishing features is its usability. Swipe is designed to be accessible to all experience levels, making it a simple task to store and manage cryptocurrencies on the Swipe wallet app, or spend cryptocurrencies using the Swipe Visa debit card.

The Swipe (SXP) token sits at the core of the Swipe ecosystem. Users will need to hold a fixed minimum amount of SXP to be eligible to purchase a Swipe Sky, Steel or Slate debit card - and get benefit from the perks these offers, such as up to 8% cashback on purchases, improved spending limits and zero foreign transaction fees.

By making it extremely simple to convert cryptocurrencies to fiat, which can then be spent using the Swipe debit card, Swipe targets the increasing number of cryptocurrency holders looking to use their assets for everyday purchases. It also generates revenue from transaction and exchange fees, which is used to support the expansion of the ecosystem and its rollout to new regions.

Besides unlocking a variety of perks for holders, SXP can also be used for creating and voting on governance proposals, allowing holders to help shape the development of the Swipe ecosystem.
