AirSwap’s marketplace technology allows users to obtain project-specific ERC20 tokens — such as AVT — without the attendant risk of using centralised crypto-exchanges. By offering a trading widget to third-party applications on the network, AirSwap enables those applications to distribute their token directly to user communities, providing peer-to-peer, decentralised liquidity. This allows users to purchase tokens in a more secure, transparent and controlled manner, avoiding the potential manipulations so often seen on traditional exchanges.

“A lot of the manipulation [regulators] talk about is something like a pump and dump, where a lot of people come in and buy something and then they sell it to someone else that happens on a centralised order book,” said Michael Oved, Co-Founder of AirSwap, speaking to Bloomberg this week, “That’s actually not possible on AirSwap: on AirSwap, all trades are matched peer-to-peer, so we’re leveraging the power of blockchain, we are not sitting in between trades and deciding how trades match, they are matched by the Ethereum network itself.”

Benefits of AirSwap for us:
