Swaap Finance is a private company in the field of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrency, founded in 2021 by David Bouba and Cyrille Pastour. The company is headquartered in Paris, Ile-de-France, France, and is known for its innovative DeFi market-making protocol.^[1]

History[edit]

Swaap was founded in 2021 by Cyrille Pastour and David Bouba, with its headquarters located in Paris, France. The company emerged in the DeFi space with a focus on creating a more accessible and secure market-making protocol. In April 2023, Swaap closed a seed funding round of $4.5M to launch its version 2 protocol.^[2] Swaap collaborates with leading market-making researchers from TradFi including Olivier Gueant and Louis Bertucci.^[3]

Products and Services[edit]

Swaap's protocol aims to minimize impermanent loss for liquidity providers in DeFi by using advanced market-making models and oracles for dynamic spread adjustments. The company launched its Swaap v2 in 2023, following a successful $4.5M fundraising campaign, providing enhanced security and market-making strategies.^[4]

These models were developed in collaboration with the Louis Bachelier Institute, utilizing a specialized automated market maker (AMM) simulator. This simulator is at the forefront of Swaap’s v2 advancements, contributing to the improved performance and wider variety of token options available, including yield-bearing assets.

Moreover, the security of Swaap's protocol is a central feature, especially in the DeFi space where security concerns are prevalent. Swaap v2 has undergone thorough audits by leading providers such as ChainSecurity and Quantstamp.

Partnerships[edit]

Swaap v2 is backed by Chainlink for price feeds and has partnerships with 1inch, Paraswap, and Odos for aggregation services. Swaap has also launched a research program "Decentralized Finance and Automated Market Makers" in partnership with Institut Louis Bachelier, a leading mathematical research centre in France.

Funding[edit]

Swaap has raised $4.5M in a seed funding round led by Signature Ventures and including 16 other investors. Previously, it received non-equity assistance from AGORANOV.
