January was undeniably a rollercoaster ride for everyone, especially on the cryptocurrency front, as the market took a tumble and emotions started running high. However, it’s business as usual at IX Swap as we gear up for the upcoming launch of our long-awaited mainnet. We made good use of the month to start the year strong by forging new partnerships, strengthening our community, and putting the finishing touches on the STO Swaps platform
Staking and Liquidity Mining Programs
Get more out of your IXS holdings when you join our liquidity mining program or staking pool. You must hurry though because they usually fill up fast.
In January, our last open staking pool was filled, meaning all IXS staking pools on both Ethereum and Polygon networks are now FULL.
Meanwhile, our liquidity mining program on the Uniswap network has also been filled, while our liquidity mining program on the Polygon network has been extended by 50k IXS tokens until February 22, 2022.
New Partnerships
Nova Finance
Nova is a portfolio management platform that harnesses the power of programmable assets. Their mission is to provide a range of automated tools and strategies within DeFi through programmable assets. They also give users the opportunities to mitigate downsides and maximize returns, while advanced DeFi users can use their platform to capitalize on their experience.
With this collaboration, IX Swap and Nova Finance will aim to bring tokenised asset solutions to a wider audience.

Realtize
Realtize is building the next generation of digital investment platforms that will allow traditional investors to participate in regulated digital asset investment and democratize the investment process.
The partnership complements IX Swap’s goals to redefine the STO landscape, promote secondary trading opportunities for security tokens and other digital assets, and ultimately bridge the gap between DeFi and CeFi by bringing liquidity to the STO industry.

Monthly Community AMA
Our community AMA this month was with none other than IX Swap CEO Julian Kwan who took the helm of the show together with IX Swap co-founder Aaron Ong.
You can check out the recording of the live stream on our Youtube channel, but just a quick recap, here are some of the key points that Julian and Aaron touched based on during the AMA:
- More Product Features - IX Swap added a significant increase in features and functions to the platform than what was originally planned.
- Scaling Up the Team - IX Swap ramped up the marketing, engineering, and business teams, with more people onboarded to work full-time and part-time.
- Challenges Being Faced - Getting a product off the ground is no easy task, no doubt about that, and in our latest AMA, Julian addressed the challenges faced by IX Swap as we gear up for the upcoming mainnet launch.
Community Contests
We tip our hat off to the IX Swap community who had always come through with valuable feedback, tireless support, and engaging banter that promotes what we set out to do in the STO/TSO space.
To start off the year, we launched two Twitter contests to reward our most creative community members who could come up with the best IX Swap-inspired Twitter thread and meme.
Two winners got to bag US$250 worth of $IXS each and of course, earn the bragging rights as IX Swap’s luckiest community members of the month.
Shout out to @Roy00065916 for winning the best IX Swap-inspired meme and @tonybaloney1234 for coming up with the best thread that highlighted what IX Swap sets out to do in the STO space and got people talking.
