The company has created a decentralized market place through the development of services ranging from tokenization, sales, issuance, and token management.
In a bid to help the development of the digital securities sector, Swarm recently decided to make tokenization free through their platform. Philipp Pieper stated at the time, “In the year since Swarm launched, we have seen overwhelming global demand from projects seeking to issue digital securities. We’ve also seen significant barriers in the cost and complexity of compliant issuance solutions. To meet that demand and scale the adoption of digital securities, we have designed a way to not only make tokenization free, but to reward token issuers in the process.”
