(AST)

AirSwap is a decentralized trading network designed to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange of digital assets. Launched in 2017, the project is built on the Ethereum blockchain and focuses on providing a secure, private, and efficient environment for traders. Unlike traditional centralized exchanges that use order books or automated market makers that rely on liquidity pools, AirSwap utilizes a unique peer-to-peer model. The foundation of the platform is the Swap Protocol. This technology allows two parties to negotiate a trade off-chain and then settle the transaction on-chain through an atomic swap. This hybrid approach is intended to provide the speed of off-chain communication while maintaining the security and finality of the blockchain. Because trades are executed as atomic swaps, they either complete entirely or not at all, which helps eliminate counterparty risk and protects users from issues like price slippage and front-running. Privacy is a core pillar of the project. AirSwap does not require users to go through a registration or verification process, allowing them to maintain control over their personal information and trade directly from their digital wallets. The network also emphasizes a fee-free trading experience, meaning the platform itself does not charge commissions on trades, though users still pay standard network gas fees for blockchain settlement. The native utility token of the ecosystem is called AST. It serves several critical functions within the network. First, it is a governance token that allows holders to participate in the decision-making process for the protocol. Through a system of improvement proposals, AST holders can vote on technical updates, fee structures, and the future direction of the project. Second, the token is used by market makers to signal their availability and reputation. To participate as a professional maker on the network, users often need to stake AST, which serves as a commitment to the ecosystem. In recent years, AirSwap has transitioned into a decentralized autonomous organization or DAO. This means the community of token holders is responsible for managing the project and its development. The ecosystem includes various products such as AirSwap Instant for quick trades, customizable NFT marketplaces, and tools for over-the-counter or OTC trading. By removing intermediaries and focusing on direct interaction between buyers and sellers, AirSwap aims to provide a more transparent and user-controlled alternative to conventional trading platforms.
