TrustSwap is a distributed platform, cryptocurrency and protocol that promises a new evolution to decentralized finance (DeFi). It aims to achieve this through next-generation multi-chain token swaps and other functionalities that aim to solve existing problems with split payments, subscriptions and cross-chain token swaps.

TrustSwap describes its mission is to power "customizable transactions," not only for the DeFi space but also for the entire crypto industry. Incorporated in July 2020 in Canada, the platform seeks to take smart contracts mainstream.

Among TrustSwap’s primary products are staking, smart locks and smart swaps, which can wrap any coin or token into an ERC20 token. For example, the protocol offers cryptocurrency wrapping services which enables anyone to wrap and use any cryptocurrency on the Ethereum blockchain. Also, it features escrow services enabling it to become a trusted middleman in crypto-based financial transactions.

Who Are the Founders of TrustSwap?

Jeff Kirdeikis and Adam Barlam lead the project as CEO and CTO respectively. The CEO is also the founder of Uptrennd, a media platform tapping into blockchain technology's power. Kirdeikis also runs a successful cryptocurrency-focused group on Facebook with over 150,000 or around members.

Barlam, on the other hand, has significant experience in and outside blockchain circles, as the developer behind a review platform, Bravocoin, where reviews are paid in cryptocurrency. In addition, he has previously held key positions at Intel and GoDaddy.

What Makes TrustSwap Unique?

TrustSwap has a token launchpad offering that is customized by users and can be set to release investor tokens at specific times or implement a lock-up period for tokens allocated to a project's team.

The feature can also be customized to give early access to those staking TrustSwap's base asset, SWAP.

Additionally, the platform uses its SmartLock feature to allow parents to automatically make digital currency payments to their kids' bank accounts on a set interval. Furthermore, you can save money and automatically transfer it at a date of your choice to a specified account.

The platform adds a new twist to crypto peer-to-peer transactions through SmartSwap. Here, it presents a use case for initiating over-the-counter (OTC) trades without the need for a third party such as a crypto exchange. A SmartSwap attracts a fee of up to 0.3%.

What's in it for TrustSwap? The platform charges for the services offered, thus drawing revenue. The higher the activities on the platform, the higher the revenues, and vice versa. It likely also generates funds through trading of its native SWAP currency.
