Token Trader going live on Feb. 1 with Ledger support, presenting at the Berlin DEX meetup, top 10 at Extreme Tech Challenge at CES, announcing the #airswapgo beta, and AMA with AirSwap Advisor Clifford Hart on Jan. 31.
Token Trader Going Live!
We’re excited to announce that Token Trader is going live on mainnet on February 1st, 2018. We thank those who assisted in testing along the way. Our private release on January 16th was a success and helped us pressure test our design and operations playbook. As we gear up for the 1st, we’ll be supporting AST and ETH, and additional token pairs over the coming days and weeks. Token Trader is the first step on The AirSwap Roadmap, with the next milestone, Token Marketplace, squarely in view.
Extreme Tech Challenge
Don presented at the Extreme Tech Challenge 2018 Semi-Finals. Judges included the president of Samsung US, the CEO of CES, and other prestigious tech giants. It was a humbling experience to be selected and to pitch among the top startups around the world. We did not secure a spot in the top 3, but were asked by the organizers to visit Necker Island to meet with Richard Branson to discuss and share our vision of AirSwap.
Mobile Beta Announced
We’ve announced the beta of our mobile app, AirSwap Go. We’ve just about filled our testing group, but if you’re interested in joining us just tweet #airswapgo and we’ll be in touch as we bring more people on board.
Berlin DEX Workshop and Meetup
Oved joined several other decentralized projects at a workshop hosted by the Web3 Foundation in Berlin, and presented at a DEX meetup the following evening. The energy and community in Berlin are incredible and we greatly enjoyed being a part of the conversation and to have the opportunity share and discuss our peer-to-peer design.
Bloomberg TV Features AirSwap
Our launch of the AirSwap Token (AST) on October 10th, 2017 was filmed by a crew from Bloomberg and published today. It captures a critical moment for our company and gives an inside view of some of the action. While an exciting story, it’s important to remember that the AirSwap Token was sold for use by traders on our platform as a utility, not an investment. Give it a watch below:
