Pay with
swipes,
not fees.

/ How it works

A payment network
that works for you,
not against you.

Traditional processors take 2-4% from the merchant. SwipeIT flips it: the buyer pays a flat 1%, and that fee goes to the people who actually run the network — not to a middleman in a glass tower.

01 / Sale

Buyer pays merchant.

Buyer scans, taps, or signs. The full sale amount goes to the merchant — every cent.

02 / Fee

1% added on top.

Buyer pays an extra 1% as the network fee. Split four ways across the people who keep SwipeIT alive.

03 / Settled

Block mined in 3ms.

Proof-of-work nodes race to confirm. Settled on-chain, irreversible, and there forever.

/ Built for everyone in the loop

Three sides.
One fair network.

SwipeIT only works because three groups all win. Find your role.

/ Fee breakdown

One percent.
Split four ways.

Every buyer fee gets fractionalised across the people who keep SwipeIT running. No hidden cuts, no executive bonuses — math you can verify on-chain.

Working node 20%
Stability pool 20%
Engineering fund 30%
Company / ops 30%
Total fee 1.0%
/ Under the hood

Built in Rust.
Verified by math.

Every payment is signed, every block is mined, every cent is accounted for in micro-cents (six decimals) so nothing rounds away. No surprises, no slippage.

ECDSA signed

Every payment uses secp256k1 signatures — same crypto as Bitcoin. Tamper with one byte and the chain rejects it.

Auto-mining proof of work

Nodes race to solve a SHA-256 puzzle. Winner publishes the block, earns the fee, and the chain advances.

Persistent on disk

Every block is written to embedded storage. Servers crash, networks split — the chain comes back intact.

P2P gossip network

Payments and blocks spread automatically. New nodes join via a single bootstrap URL. Fully decentralised.

Payments,
without the tax.

SwipeIT is live on mainnet. Process a real signed payment against the public bootstrap node and see the chain grow in front of you.
