No protocol fees.
No investors.
BasicSwap is open-source software written and maintained by an independent community. There is no token, no premine, no equity round, and no protocol cut at swap time. The work is paid for by direct community support, in the cryptocurrencies the protocol itself helps trade.

What your support funds.

Code, time, or a quote.
Money is not the only contribution. Reviewing pull requests, filing high-quality bugs, writing docs, or vouching for BasicSwap on a podcast moves the project forward in ways money cannot.
