DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance. It's like traditional banking, but without banks. Instead, you use apps connected to the blockchain to manage your money, trade, or earn interest, all without needing a middleman.

To start with Swipe, download the app and create an account. Your wallet will automatically be created. Add funds and explore different traders to follow — Or buy trending tokens on your own. The app is designed to be easy, even if you're new to crypto.

Your money stays in your own wallet on the blockchain. Swipe helps you manage your funds, but you’re always in control. The app ensures your assets are secure and only you can access them.

Swipe uses blockchain technology, which is known for its security and transparency. Your assets are basically programmed money on the chain that only you can control with your wallet's keys.

You can use your private key or recovery phrase to reload your wallet on Swipe. On initial setup, you can backup your encrypted keys to the Swipe Cloud. If you lose your keys, you lose your crypto as keys are virtually unguessable.
