New Listings, The Art Asset Class & More News
Welcome to your Swarm Newsletter for December 7th, 2018
New investment opportunity: TheArtToken (TAT)
TheArtToken (TAT) brings art as a stable, successful and secure alternative asset on the blockchain. Every TAT is backed by 100% renowned works of art. With its 1-to-1 ratio, TAT has no additional or hidden costs/fees, making sure that 100% of the invested capital gets transformed into art. TAT has a soft cap of $16M and a hard cap of $100M, and is offering presale discounts of up to 30%. Moreover, TAT is introducing a new level of trust with a one-of-a-kind redemption option: at any time token holders can convert their tokens into the underlying art, should they no longer want to participate in the fund.
For more information, watch the TAT Video and read more details on the TAT listing page.
Swarm conducts the next round of Masternode payouts
On December 4th, Swarm paid out a total of 205,480 SWM in block rewards for the second half of November 2018 to 139 Swarm Masternode operators, as part of the incentive program it launched earlier this year. Going forward, rewards will be paid on a monthly schedule. Offering full transparency to current and future masternode holders, Swarm has created a website to publish the masternode rewards to date. This website is updated every hour.

Swarm listed on the Cryptopia exchange
The SWM token is now live for purchase and trading on Cryptopia’s marketplace, with BTC and ETH trading pairs. This is a big deal because Swarm is one of the first tokens to go through Cryptopia’s new listing process, with a rigorous review of Swarm’s team, token, and technology. We expect more marketplaces to find the architecture behind the SWM token equally convincing.

Swarm now listed on Masternodes.online (MNO)
Swarm is listed on Masternodes.online (MNO), which is a leading masternode coins comparison and masternodes monitoring platform. MNO’s goal is to provide clean, concise and accurate data for masternode coins and masternode comparison. Swarm is currently ranked #25 by volume and #10 by Market Cap. The listing on MNO is another major milestone for Swarm this past month, as it underscores the team’s commitment to full transparency.

The Swarm brand is getting stronger
Building a brand from scratch is not an easy task. Becoming a household name in the fintech space can take years. We are encouraged by the recognition Swarm has been getting lately, and grateful for all the support from our community. In November, Swarm’s CEO Philipp Pieper had been in high-demand — either as a keynote speaker or as a panelist at fintech and blockchain events. To give you an idea — on the 13th Philipp was at Finpulse Summit in Stuttgart, on the 20th at the European Blockchain Association: Inauguration of Working Group Finance WGF in Frankfurt, on the 23rd at PWC Blockchain Summit in Munich, on the 27th at the Heidelberg University for a seminar on Blockchain and on the 29th Philipp was at the AIMA Digital Assets and Blockchain Core Group in London. Be on the look-out for future opportunities to see Philipp and other Swarm leaders in action at a fintech event near you.
Wishing you all the best for December,
Your friends at Swarm
