SWFT Octopus Trade is the centralized exchange and exchange aggregator operated by SWFT Blockchain, a cross-chain wallet, exchange, and payments platform powered by the Swftcoin (SWFTC) token. The platform was founded in 2017 and is based in Silicon Valley, allowing users to swap, trade, pay with, and share cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains.[1][2]
Design and History
SWFT Blockchain was established in 2017 as a cross-chain swap aggregator for DEX, CEX, and NFT platforms, combining blockchain technology with machine learning and big data analysis.[3][4] The company received investment from Draper Dragon in 2018 and participated in the first cohort of the Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator in 2019.[5]
The SWFT Octopus Trade name reflects the platform’s role as an aggregator that routes orders across multiple exchanges to secure competitive rates for users.[1] The brand identity is built around the SWFT acronym, which is also registered as a standard character trademark for SWFT Blockchain, covering virtual currency services for online community members.[6]
Meaning and Symbolism
The octopus motif in the SWFT Octopus Trade name is directly tied to the platform’s function as an exchange aggregator. The octopus, with its multiple tentacles reaching across different directions, visually parallels how SWFT Blockchain places buy and sell orders across multiple exchanges simultaneously to achieve competitive rates.[1] The platform supports direct swaps between over 300 cryptocurrencies, a scale that aligns with the multi-directional reach implied by the octopus identity.[3]
