Swytch Announces Integration of the Bancor Protocol
Swytch, a blockchain-based solution for accelerating a sustainable and equitable energy future, today announced that it is joining the Bancor Network, a decentralized liquidity network, in order to enable continuous liquidity for the Swytch token. The integration of the Bancor Protocol will give holders of the Swytch token the ability to convert Swytch to any token on the Bancor Network.
“Bancor is excited to welcome Swytch onto the Bancor Network,” said Galia Benartzi, Co-Founder and Head of Business Development at Bancor. “We share Swytch’s vision for a more sustainable future powered by blockchain innovations and we look forward to seeing Swytch play a role in the evolution of clean energy production.”
Swytch uses the blockchain to bring together data, networks, and incentives for the world to adopt renewable energy at scale. The Swytch solution includes a Proof of Production protocol, data aggregation layer, and an incentive token designed to accelerate and scale the production of renewable energy.
“The Bancor Protocol provides much-needed liquidity for our incentive token,” said Evan Caron, Swytch Co-Founder and Managing Director. “Cities and other governments can now leverage Swytch to reward locally responsible behavior that benefits our entire planet.”
Several cities in South Korea have already forged partnerships with Swytch and additional Asian and European agreements are under consideration.
Upon completion of their Token Sale, Swytch will activate a Relay Token with 2% of its circulating token supply within a week of distributing Swytch tokens. Users will be able to purchase and sell Swytch tokens directly from any Web3 wallet at a formulaically calculated price.
Swytch will be releasing additional details about the integration of the Bancor Protocol in the coming weeks.
