Introducing Swing Points

Swing Points are officially live🥳

At Swing, our mission is to accelerate crypto adoption and empower users to seamlessly move value across blockchain ecosystems.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen considerable growth in volumes, transactions, new users, and partners. Today, we are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards decentralization: the launch of the Swing Points.

Now is the moment to take the next significant step on our journey toward decentralization!

What are Swing Points?

Everyone who has used Swing products has played a part in our mission and deserves recognition for our collective success.  This applies to everyone within the Swing & Galaxy Exchange ecosystems, our valued partners, and daily users. 

The launch of Swing Points will be the primary method for transferring power to our community over time. It serves as a robust distribution channel, enabling everyone to actively contribute and participate in future Swing governance.

How are Swing Points acquired?

Swing Points can be acquired by using the Swing protocol through Galaxy Exchange. Points can be accumulated through a variety of activities including making Swaps and Bridge transfers, as well as performing Quests and Referring friends. As fees collected from transactions go to the Swing treasury, this gives the future Swing DAO a revenue-generating protocol to govern over while receiving voting power proportional to your contribution to the ecosystem. Our goal is to encourage organic use of our protocol by making it difficult for bots and hunter networks, which must bear fees to participate. 

Our intent is to develop a system that rewards users who actively support us and also for anyone who joins us in the future. 

Who is eligible?

The Swing Points is designed to recognize and reward everyone who contributes to our mission. This includes all participants within the Swing and Galaxy ecosystems, our partners, and daily users: 

• Anyone who makes a swap or bridging transaction through Galaxy Exchange

• Anyone who participates in Swing Points-related Quests/Campaigns on Galaxy Exchange and Swing | Galaxy Discord.

• You must be a part of the eligible jurisdictions Swing supports.

1. Perform Swaps

Get points by performing swaps across the Swing ecosystem on Galaxy Exchange. Swing Points are accrued for both, same-chain and cross-chain swaps across any of our 52+ supported blockchain ecosystems. It is designed in a way that ensures fairness and equity for the entire community.

For example: If Alice makes 100 transactions, and Bob just makes 1 transaction, Alice will get more Swing Points than Bob, but won’t get 100 times as many points as Bob.

Here then, if Alice does 100 transactions, she’ll get 6,430 Swing Points, compared to Bob’s 100 Swing Points for his one, single transaction.

Please note: A minimum swap amount of $6 is required for eligibility.

Minimum 300 Swing Points for claiming

2. Make Bridge Transfers

Get points for making cross-chain swaps/bridge transfers across any of our supported blockchain ecosystems. Similar to swaps, it is designed in a way that ensures fairness and equity for the entire community.

For example: If Alice makes 100 transactions, and Bob just makes 1 transaction, Alice will get more Swing Points than Bob, but won’t get 100 times as many Swing Points as Bob.

Here then, if Alice does 100 transactions, she’ll get 6,430 Swing Points, compared to Bob’s 100 Swing Points for his one, single transaction.

The Future of Swing

This launch is a key part of our plans to distribute governance power and create a dynamic, engaging community. As we introduce this system, we reserve the right to rescind points for wallets attempting to exploit the system. Our goal is to reward genuine, loyal users as much as possible.

We are excited about the upcoming community updates planned for later this year and going into 2025. A heartfelt thank you to our community, partners, and everyone who has been part of this journey so far.
