What Is Biswap (BSW)?

TL;DR

Biswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows users to swap tokens on the BNB Smart Chain. Besides having a novel referral system and low trading fees, Biswap also offers an assortment of products and services, including a trading platform, farms, launchpools, an NFT marketplace, trading competitions, and an NFT game.

Introduction

With more than 1,000 tokens on the BNB Smart Chain, there is user demand for a solution to swap tokens quickly and cheaply. Biswap was originally designed to meet this demand and has since evolved into a platform that presents a range of services and opportunities for token holders.

How does Biswap work?

Biswap adopts an automated market maker (AMM) model to let users swap BEP-20 tokens issued on the BNB chain. The decentralized exchange (DEX) runs on the BNB Smart Chain network, enjoying fast transaction speeds and low network transaction costs. Boasting one of the lowest trading fees in the market at 0.2%, Biswap is a popular platform for users looking for an affordable trading platform.

Unlike centralized exchanges, Biswap does not take custody of user funds, making it a good alternative for crypto holders who value trustless systems. Biswap allows users to exchange BNB chain tokens with low fees, while earning rewards with a referral program. Users can also provide liquidity to earn passive income, stake tokens in farms and launchpools, buy NFTs on Biswap’s NFT Marketplace, and stake them in the NFT Staking Pool.

What is BSW?

The native coin of Biswap is BSW. The max supply of BSW is 700 million, with a current BSW emission rate of 16 BSW per block.

BSW is a utility token that supports the Biswap ecosystem and facilitates the activities offered on the platform. The BSW token powers Biswap’s incentivization model and functions as a reward for network participation.

What makes Biswap unique?

Biswap is a decentralized exchange platform on the BNB Chain that provides various services and offers a unique three-type referral program. The project has been audited by CertiK, a blockchain security company focusing on analyzing and monitoring DeFi projects and blockchain protocols. Biswap has a diverse range of products and activities, which include:

• Biswap DEX with a trading fee of 0.2%
• Fee rewards
• Farming & Staking

Biswap Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

The Biswap Exchange allows users to trade tokens issued on the BNB Chain with a trading fee of 0.2%. Similar to other AMM platforms, Biswap has no order book to match sellers and buyers. Instead, users trade in liquidity pools. The liquidity is provided by liquidity providers, who are incentivized with Liquidity Pool tokens (or LP tokens) to contribute to the pools.

Liquidity providers can use LP tokens to earn a portion of the trading fees or stake them in Biswap’s farms. They can remove liquidity and reclaim their share of the pool at any time. 

Keep in mind that providing liquidity involves financial risk, as liquidity providers are subject to impermanent loss. Make sure you are aware of all the pros and cons of providing liquidity before taking actions. Check out Impermanent Loss Explained for more information.

Fee rewards

To encourage swaps on its platform, Biswap reimburses transaction fees to users in the form of BSW. When you make a swap on Biswap, there is a trading fee of 0.2%. Up to 50% of the trading fee will be sent to your “Fee Return” balance in the form of BSW tokens.

Farming & Staking

Users can deposit LP tokens in Biswap Farms and stake for BSW rewards. Some of the most popular LP tokens are:

• BNB – BSW LP
• BNB – BUSD LP
• BNB – USDT LP
• BUSD – USDT LP
• ETH – BTCB LP

Users can also stake their BSW tokens in the Launchpool. The Biswap Analytics page contains more information about the network.

Lottery

Users can take part in the Biswap Lottery and earn BSW prizes by purchasing lottery tickets with BSW.

NFT Marketplace

Digital art collectors and NFT fans can use BSW to trade NFTs on the Biswap NFT Marketplace. Benefits offered by Biswap NFT Marketplace include:

• Low commission fee: At 1%, the commission fee is currently the lowest one on the BNB Chain.
• Exclusive NFT Auctions: Participants of the auction can earn 5% from the price difference between their own and the next closest bid.
• Unique Biswap NFT Collection: If you manage to purchase NFTs from the Biswap NFT Collection, you can stake them in the NFT Staking Pool.
• Receive Robi Boosts when you buy or sell on the Biswap NFT Marketplace: Robi Boosts allow users to earn more in the NFT Staking Pool. When an NFT transaction is completed, the buyer and seller receive an equal share of the commission fee in Robi Boosts.

NFT Launchpad

Virtual crypto robots are available for purchase as Robbies NFTs on the Biswap’s NFT Launchpad. Each Robbies NFT has a random amount of Robi Boosts. The higher the Robi Boosts, the higher price it can fetch and the rewards it can earn in the NFT Staking Pool.

NFT Staking Pool

Users can stake Robbies NFTs via Biswap’s NFT Staking Pool. Rewards in the NFT Staking Pool are dependent on how much Robi Boosts your NFT has.

Biswap Referral Program

Users who help grow the Biswap community can also earn BSW rewards. Using a unique 3-type referral program, you can invite friends to register and participate for referral rewards. Earn BSW when they take part in:

• Exchange: You can earn up to 20% in referral rewards every time your referee makes a swap on the Biswap Exchange.
• Farms & Launchpools: You can earn 5% of your referee’s earnings from farms and launchpools. Your referral rewards will be ready for withdrawal once your referee withdraws BSW tokens to their wallet.
• Lottery: If your referee buys a lottery ticket, you as the referrer will receive 2% of the amount spent as a referral reward.
