Swapped is developing a frictionless payment platform to help new and experienced cryptocurrency users seamlessly purchase and sell digital assets with fiat currency. Users can pay using their local currencies and payment methods with industry low fees, allowing anyone to enter the crypto world as easily as they'd swipe their credit card (or other local payment method). The complexities of buying and selling cryptocurrencies can be a barrier for many people. Lack of trusted payment options, and confusing on/off-ramp procedures deter even tech-savvy users. This affects a huge segment of potential crypto adopters—from everyday consumers exploring digital assets for the first time to seasoned traders looking for a simpler way to move funds. Swapped tackles this widespread challenge by offering a one-stop, user-friendly payment solution for users, cutting down the complexity and risk associated with typical crypto transactions. We support a wide range of national currencies and digital assets, breaking down geographic barriers. Our state-of-the-art fraud prevention and regulatory compliance ensure each transaction is safe and meets global standards. By eliminating unnecessary steps and providing clear guidance at every stage, Swapped dramatically lowers the entry barrier to the crypto ecosystem. We saw firsthand how a confusing, fragmented purchasing process was preventing widespread adoption of digital assets. Despite the disruptive potential of crypto and Web3, too many newcomers were discouraged by technical jargon, multiple steps, and security fears. Our team believed that a streamlined, familiar payment experience—akin to everyday online shopping—could unlock the power of crypto for millions. Fueled by the vision of a borderless, accessible financial future, we quit our day jobs to build Swapped. We’re driven to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized web, ensuring anyone, anywhere, can confidently participate in the next generation of digital currency. We're a small and LEAN startup, looking to onboarding millions of new users into the crypto ecosystem.
