Swipe Network

The Swipe Network is a protocol designed to spend cryptocurrencies in real-time with an on-chain and off-chain dual method. The Swipe Network is powered by the Swipe Token (SXP) which is the protocols native cryptocurrency. 

Transaction Fees

All conversion transactions that occur on the Swipe Wallet are paid in SXP tokens. That means if a user spends crypto with the Visa Card or if he buys crypto with his bank account the fees will be in SXP.

Network Fees

Any network related transaction requires SXP as the gas for the network fees. For example, if a user withdraws Bitcoin from the Swipe Wallet, the user pays a very a small SXP network fee.

Currency

Spend SXP as a currency such as at point-of-sale or for gift cards directly within the Swipe Wallet and Swipe Card at merchants worldwide. The SXP used will be converted to fiat to perform the transaction.

Discounts & Enhancements

Users are able to get the higher Swipe Card with a SXP stake of 300,000 for 6 months. Users are also able to retain higher SXP balances for enhanced discounts and enhanced rewards per the Whitepaper.

SXP can operate on the network in two folds: 

1. Utility 

• Currency: Spend SXP at millions of merchants globally with the ability to convert to fiat at point-of-sale with the Swipe Wallet and Swipe Visa Debit Card.
• Fees: Use SXP towards paying fees on the platform.
• Discounts & Rewards: When the Swipe Network is active, all fee's on the Swipe Wallet & Card Platform will be denominated in SXP which will grant up to 75% discount in fees and up to 1% additional cash back from the following structure:
