Swandex is the platform’s decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. Swandex runs by the Serum Foundation, which has experienced people in DeFi (decentralized finance), cryptocurrencies, and digital currency trading. Swandex platform was created to address issues fundamental to decentralized finance, such as centralization, speed, usability, and multi-chain support.

On the other hand, Solana resolves the problem mentioned above by offering affordable transaction fees to its users. 

SWAN is the native token of the Swanlana platform. The SWAN token aims to allow users to deposit, access, and earn from the limited-edition content created by influencers/ celebrities from around the globe, all powered by NFTs. The Swanlana platform aims to list SWAN NFT and the SWAN token on other markets and offer giveaways and contests for the community.

The Swanlana website and the SWAN token were launched in the third quarter of 2021.
