Map of VISA from Swipe

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic , Sweden, Estonia.
Swipe token (SXP) and its purpose
The Swipe network works using the Swipe API off-chain, and also partially on-chain on the Ethereum blockchain. With the help of a deposit in at least one SXP, a participant can get access to work with the Swipe network. All commissions within the wallet are calculated in SXP. Transactions are updated directly on the chain and then reflected in the Swipe API.
When a transaction is made on the Swipe Network, 80% of the fees denominated in SXP are automatically burned by the smart contract and 20% is withheld.
Other ways to use the SXP token:
- Spend as currency (for example, to pay for gift cards). The token is converted to fiat to perform operations.
- By holding 30,000 SXP for six months, the user is eligible to order a higher level Swipe Card.
- Use as a staking tool – distribution of commissions between network validators.
- Vote. SXP holders are free to vote on protocol updates and options such as fees, coins burned, and more. The more tokens, the higher the vote is valued.
Where to store SXP
It is most convenient to store the token on its native platform, Swipe. Moreover, the company provides a fairly safe and convenient wallet in which you can track spending statistics, the amount of all assets on the balance sheet, and changes in their value.
In addition, you can exchange one cryptocurrency for another at any time or withdraw it to fiat (as well as vice versa). Purchase of SXP from a bank card is available (but not in rubles).
Where to buy, sell, trade Swipe token (SXP)
You can buy a token directly through the application, but it is also present on some third-party exchanges. Swipe works closely with the Binance crypto exchange and, of course, this token is listed. To purchase it, log in to the trading platform and fund your account with the asset you are going to spend.
Then find SXP in the Spot Wallet section and click on Trade. At the moment, the following pairs are supported: SXP / AUD, SXP / BTC, SXP / BNB, SXP / BUSD, SXP / USDT. Choose from these options the appropriate one.
In the trading terminal, you get the opportunity to create an order of the required type, specifying either only the quantity (market), or the quantity and price (limit). After making a purchase, the cryptocurrency is immediately credited to the exchange account.

Development prospects of the Swipe platform
Swipe has not existed for very long, but in its first year of operation it has established itself as an effective, convenient and cost-effective service.
