How to Swace Away

• The Swace app has pre-configured gaming frames where any brand can select a specific game scenario to launch their social advertising gaming campaign.
• Based on the scenario chosen, the app calculates the operation cost which the brand would need to pay for hosting and managing their chosen game.
• After this, the advertising budget of the brand will be charged and Swace will fund the game-winning pool within the app by using Swace tokens.
• Brands can also choose to buy Swace tokens from other token holders within the internal Swace exchange. These token holders could be gamers, other brands, investors, etc.
• Gamers can use the Swace token to exchange them with real products and services available in the Swace marketplace through associated brands. They can also use these tokens at brand stores or convert them into FIAT currencies at the Swace Swap Exchange.
• Brands can benefit from the coins collected from gamers to launch new games via the Swace app or exchange them at the Swace Swap.

All About Swace Token

The business model of the Swace app revolves around the Swace token which is a tokenized utility recognized by a central bank in European Union Member State. The tokens are made available through the Swap IEO. IEO encourages safer investment conditions by dictating investors to pass KYC/AML procedures. For better security, the wallets of the Swace team, bounty, and foundation are vested which means their token is locked in for a certain period of time (6 months for bounty participants, 48 months for Swap foundation, 30 days for pre-sales investors, and 24 months for the team).

What’s in it for the Users

Brands are putting forth a gamified lifestyle for their clients through the Swace platform. By getting into a gaming challenge, it is a widely known fact that your brains get flooded with dopamine and testosterone when you win a challenge, making you more confident and smarter in the long run. This is why Swace has got an enthusiastic response from users and Swace is confident that it will become a new phenomenon in the social media world. Here is a glimpse of how these socially interactive Swace games can bring users loads of rewards:

• Emotion - By sharing a moment with a brand at a specified time, users can get rewarded. These photo-worthy moments of a user’s life when linked to the brand create a deep and quality user engagement.
• Voting - You could upload a picture based on an announced theme and try to collect maximum votes from other users. This requires creativity and a competitive drive which creates excitement amongst users associated with the brand.
• Location - This is a challenge based on habit-building principles which mean repetitive interaction with a brand in a concentrated time span which helps in deepening the loyalty. In this, you need to visit a specified number of locations within a given time period and take pictures of the brand in action and share them.
• Product testing - The brand selects a set of audiences for testing their products and gets credible feedback. The platform serves as an easy, effective, and cheap substitute for a rather ultra-expensive product testing research. Users get a free sample of the product and the brand gets realistic feedback from a credible audience.
