What Happened

Culmination of recent token supply partnerships reinforces SecondSwap’s position as the leading marketplace for locked token trading.

SecondSwap, the decentralized exchange to unlock onchain liquidity from locked tokens, today announced a partnership with TokenOps, a comprehensive token operations and lifecycle management platform.

This latest partnership completes and brings together recent strategic initiatives by SecondSwap, collectively onboarding billions in locked token inventory to its platform.

“TokenOps was built to give issuers full visibility and control across the entire token lifecycle, from launch to vesting to unlocks. By extending that lifecycle into SecondSwap’s secondary marketplace, we’re ensuring issuers can manage and stay in control of not just supply, but also liquidity, in a way that aligns with their long-term strategy,” said Fabio Mancini, CEO & Co-founder of TokenOps.

“Our vision is to be the world’s leading decentralized marketplace for trading locked tokens, and this partnership with TokenOps helps us to fortify that by bringing yet another critical supply of locked token inventory for secondary trading. Having more token supply and options for buyers attracts more users and liquidity, which is also what sellers are seeking when looking to unlock their tokens. This strengthens our trust and position as the first DEX uniquely built to facilitate their transactions with security and transparency,” said Kanny Lee, SecondSwap Founder.

While vesting schedules have their purpose, they also restrict stakeholders such as token issuers, foundations, and investors from the freedom to access early liquidity.
