20th June 2018: SWIPE Meetup at Ethereum Japan

SWIPE is pleased to be hosted by Ethereum Japan in a meetup in Shibuya, Tokyo on a Wednesday night. CEO Clifford Lim and CTO Andrew Marchen are present to speak all about what SWIPE is and what it aims to achieve. This meetup was interesting for its geographical location as the team ventured far away from our home-ground in Southeast Asia, and is part of the team’s plan for global expansion and outreach.

22th June 2018: Blockchain Adventures 2018

The SWIPE team attended the Blockchain Adventures Singapore 2018 Conference, organized by CodeCamp and held at IBM Place, Changi Business Park. CTO Andrew Marchen was the first to speak at the event, and spoke about the problems about the data monetization process, and pitched the value of the SWIPE ecosystem. Other projects speaking at the event is TraceTo (our partner!), SmartPesa Credible, SIX Network, JEDTrade, and the MOLD Project. The blockchain companies present are truly diversified, and ranged from revolutionizing payments and digital commerce, decentralization of the gaming ecosystem, to data exchange via blockchain.

Besides the founders/executives of various projects pitching the value propositions of their project to the audience, blockchain architects from IBM spoke about the utilization and benefits of blockchain for businesses. The presentation was an eye-opener and covered many topics such as the difference between permissioned and permissonless blockchains, the usage of hyperledger in the permissioned blockchain and the nuances of transparency, scalability and governance model present in these “B2B Blockchains”.

Blockpost iOS teaser

SWIPE’s MVU Product, Blockpost, which demonstrates the capability of SWIPE’s Lockscreen and Mission SDK is launched nearly a month ago on the Google Play Store.

SWIPE has great news for our iOS users who were not able to utilize and experiment with our Blockpost app for this period of time. SWIPE’s development team is hard at work and we are putting up the finishing touches to our product. The iOS version will be ready somewhere between late July — August.

Do note that our current app on Google Playstore is an Alpha release, the SWIPE team will continue to update and deploy improvements so we fully welcome the community to express your reviews either on the Play store or to the team directly. Do stay tuned for an official future release!

About SWIPE

SWIPE aims to create a network of apps that are able to work together to create valuable data as a collective, instead of relying on centralized intermediaries. As part of the network, all data collected will be aggregated, anonymized and encrypted. It will then be channeled into an analytics engine which packages it to be monetized directly to data buyers in a decentralized data marketplace. This process provides transparency to data buyers as they can trace the origins of the data, creates a fairer way for app developers to monetize data and empowers users by giving them full control and ownership of their data. SWIPE is invested by Kenetic, a blockchain firm that invested in huge blockchain projects like Zilliqa, ICON, and Bluzelle.
