Today, SWAPD officially crossed the 100,000 active member mark.
In total, we’ve seen around 114,000 registrations, with roughly 14,000 accounts banned over the years. That leaves us with 100,000 active members, and frankly, we’re proud of both numbers. One shows growth. The other shows we still know where the eject button is.
For those who weren’t around in the beginning, SWAPD started in February 2017, quietly went live in March 2017, and remained invite constrained until later that year. The goal was simple: create a safer place to buy, sell, and trade digital assets and services in an industry that was, and still is, mostly held together by trust, reputation, and duct tape.
Nine years later, we’re welcoming 90 to 140 new members daily, seeing 600 to 1,000 new listings every week, and have tracked over $65 million in sales volume since we began recording those figures in 2019. The true lifetime number is higher.
It’s that we got here despite everything thrown at us.
Over the years, SWAPD has endured payment processor headaches, frozen funds, legal pressure, DNS outages, blacklists, scammers, copycats, spam waves, coordinated abuse, platform hostility, regulatory friction, and the daily miracle of moderating humans on the internet.
Yet we’re still here.
Still building.
Still improving.
Still banning people who don’t want to see us win!
Most importantly, still serving a community that proves there is demand for a serious marketplace where trust, accountability, and quality matter.
To every buyer, seller, broker, subcontractor, moderator, supporter, critic, and long time member:
100,000 active members isn’t the finish line.
It’s proof that SWAPD is built to last.
The next chapter starts now.
ready to serve you all with lots of new new digital social media services and assets.
