Hi guys and welcome to another lovely weekend, Saturdays are for parties and while you take part in this event why not make your money work for you?

DeFi is short for decentralized finance, platforms created to provide better performance and higher incentives when compared to its traditional platforms (centralized)

Today’s writeup will be focused on Binance smart chain and while it is rather new it seems different DApps are been built on it on daily basis with lesser transaction fees and faster speed, providing a better operating atmosphere.

Swipe staking BSC

Staking has to do with locking up your coins/tokens over a period of time with the hope of securing the network and by doing so users get incentives, in other words, get paid in the said coin/token and the percentage differs.

Swipe houses this feature and before now it was solely based on the Ethereum Blockchain and users who stake gets paid in SXP while the stake feature stays active.

The issue with this was mainly caused by the network fee provided by the Ethereum Blockchain, users had to pay fees greater than $1 to confirm transactions be it withdrawal or adding to their stake, many consider this probably high especially when the network is highly congested.

Binance smart chain creates a better and lesser fee and while staking stays available on the Ethereum Blockchain, users can now make choice to dive into another network probably due to higher ROI or probably dodging the high-end fees.

To check the present ROI, users can browse https://sxp-calculator.com/ it provides a real-time date of how much SXP returns daily when staked and also the present price of SXP taken from Binance.

Swipe staking on Binance smart chain requires a web3 wallet that supports its blockchain and TokenPocket does exactly this.
