Hey everyone,
One more project for SBC in November:
Currency swap widget, competitor for https://shapeshift.io, https://changelly.com and https://flyp.me
You can find the demo here:
https://swap.apay.io/widget/demo.html
Please don't try to send money just yet, I'm running a bit late on finishing up the backend, so it's currently off.
It's easy to embed into any website:
<div class="exchange-widget" style="width: 250px; border: 1px solid #000;"></div>
<script src="https://swap.apay.io/widget/dist/exchange-widget.js"></script>
<script>
(function() {
var root = document.querySelector('.exchange-widget');
new ExchangeWidget('https://swap.apay.io/widget/index.html', root);
})()
</script>
Due to lack of liquidity in Stellar it doesn't always have competitive rates compared to changelly and others. That's why initially I tried to launch it a month ago with no profit sharing (no extra cost for users), but few people I contacted weren't really interested.
So it's chicken and egg problem, that's why I decided to incorporate profit sharing straight away. I guess it will be a better incentive for people to start placing it on their websites, which will bring more trades and improve liquidity causing better rates for users.
At the moment I'm just thinking through details of profit sharing program to minimize impact on users and incentivise websites choose my widget over changelly.
I started with XLM <-> BTC, but I will be adding LTC, ETH, BCH, ERC20 tokens and possible some Stellar assets too, like EQD, MOBI, HUG ? during next month.
Let me know what you think.
And by the way, widget is open source here.
