Well... that's over! 2020 has definitely been an upsetting year and while we are glad it's coming to an end, we also have some reasons to celebrate. In the midst of a pandemic, our team has continued pushed in the direction of realizing the SWFT Blockchain vision of facilitating value exchanges across different blockchains and different people in the form of swaps, payments and social finance. As a testament to our team's drive, this year our token has been listed on more exchanges than any previous year, while we have listed over 50 new cryptocurrencies. Together with our API partners, we have enabled over $100 million in cross-chain swaps volume. Read on for a summary of what we've been up to in 2020:
🐙
In January, we listed 8 new currencies and introduced SWFT Octopus Trade as a buy and sell order aggregator to give our users a birds-eye-view of the market and give them the ability to place the best trades. We also joined hands with BitHD to increase the security of our wallets.
⛷
In February we listed 8 more new currencies and added LoyToken as an API partner. We also partnered with Suterusu to add more privacy-preserving functionalities to SWFT Blockchain. Our Twitter followers also decided that if we started a band, it should be called The Swapsters.
🌤
In March, we listed two more new currencies and continued to work with API partners like ELLIPAL.
🌱
In April we brought back SwftCoin (SWFTC) daily earnings and added support for 2 new currencies. We also integrated the Libra (now Diem) testate and introduced Diem testnet tokens to allow our users to give Diem a spin in preparation for its launch, which was later delayed to 2021. At the end of April, Binance announced that SWFTC would be participating in the 8th Community Coin Vote!
🗳
SWFT Blockchain went into May in campaign mode as SWFTC topped the LunarCrush AltRank for a few days, and our team participated in AMA's with thousands of participants and questions. On May 4th, we celebrated the "Rise of SwftCoin" in preparation for the final days of the Binance vote.
Ultimately, while SWFTC did not end up winning the Binance community vote, we said "maybe later" and continued to have a stellar month of May, listing SWFTC on Poloniex, Bithumb Global, Binance JEX, CoinDCX, Hotbit and more! To celebrate, we conducted AMA's in the Bithum Global Telegram channels and distributed the rewards from all the Binance AMAs we participated in. Also from May, check out this great feature on SWFT Blockchain by Binance Research.

In June, we added support for 2 more tokens! On the compliance side, we introduced new verification features to navigate KYC and AML guidelines and protect our users from any potential disruptions caused by changes in cryptocurrency regulation.
🌞
In July we announced our creative social media campaign which attracted over 30 participants and featured videos, art, clever tweets, language-specific guides, and blog-posts shared on all kinds of social media! We also added a SWFTC-ETH pair on Uniswap to give our holders an additional source of liquidity for SWFTC.
😎
In August, SWFTC was listed on ZB.com, which meant we held AMA in the ZB app! ZB also listed SWFTC in its DeFi section! We also listed VEX and co-organized a swapetition of VEX with our wallet partner, Atoken! SWFTC was also listed on ChangeNOW and Change Crypto. It was also listed on Huobi's DeFi zone as Huobi also opened a SWFTC/USDT trading pair! On the listing side, we listed over 7 new cryptocurrencies in August. Finally,
SWFTC was the top performing project of the month with a market cap of less than 10 million, starting the month with a market cap of $9.57 million and ending with $16.8 million!
🍂
September began with the end of our creative social media campaign and the distribution of the rewards! Our community voted on the winners from this thread containing all the creative submissions. In mid-September we added 8 new DeFi cryptocurrencies to SWFT Blockchain, including YFI, YFII, KSM, SUSHI, SUN, HBTC, ATOM, and USDT(EOS). We also added support for UNI! On the token side, SWFTC was added to SimpleSwap.
🎃
October started with SWFTC being added to CoinMarketCap's #DeFi section and OKEX's too!

In November Keyfort integrated SWFT Blockchain's swap API. As Bitcoin began to rise, SWFT Blockchain listed QUSD and KUN from QIAN stable coin protocol. VET, ADA, and DGB, were also added to our on-chain wallet-to-wallet swaps. In total, we listed 6 currencies in November. This included BNB(BSC), BBTC, and BTCB as we began to add support for Binance Smart Chain assets! After this, SWFT Pay was featured on the Binance Smart Chain DeFi Landscape as a payments platform!
At the end of November, we launched the SWFT Blockchain decentralized wallet, a non-custodial storage option which gives our users the ability to keep control of their crypto at all times while using DeFi apps and continuing to take advantage of all of SWFT Blockchain's features.

Lastly, in December, SWFTC was listed on NerveNetwork and BitKeep integrated the SWFT Blockchain API to allow its users to swap cryptocurrencies without leaving their BitKeep wallet. We've also been busy making updates to our newly launched decentralized wallet, including adding a new option for creating a fully decentralized Binance Smart Chain wallet, in addition to the existing Ethereum one. As a payment and wallet provider for Binance Smart Chain, we also participated in the Binance Christmas event which rewarded BNB to SWFT Blockchain users for creating #BSC wallets. To top off the year, we launched on-chain red packets for Ethereum and BSC, which allow anybody to share crypto with top to 5,000 people using a link and allows you to claim free crypto directly into your preferred wallet address! Right after this, we became the official red packet partner for Binance Smart Chain. We also partnered with Huobi to become the official red packet partner of Huobi's ECO Chain!
🧧Check out our previous post to see how to send and receive red packets!
🥳As we sign off on 2020, we sincerely wish everybody a happy (or happier) 2021! We will be doing our part to make 2021 better by spreading joy in crypto-filled red packets!
