AirSwap (AST)
CryptoScore Pro global score : 39/100 (computed on 2026-10-30)
AirSwap is a peer-to-peer trading protocol deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, classified in the CryptoScore database under the Exchange sector and the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) primary category. Its native token, AST, is an ERC-20 asset whose verified contract address is 0x27054b13b1B798B345b591a4d22e6562d47eA75a, deployed on 10 October 2017, the same date recorded as the genesis and launch of the project. The protocol targets traders and market participants who prefer to exchange tokens directly with one another, without routing orders through a central intermediary or pooling assets in an automated liquidity pool. Its relevance rests on this design choice: it is one of the earliest on-chain systems built around a request-for-quote model, which places it in the lineage of decentralized trading infrastructure that predates the broad adoption of automated market makers. The AirSwap architecture is built around a request-for-quote mechanism in which a maker signs an off-chain order and a taker executes it on-chain against a smart contract that verifies the signature and settles the trade atomically. Version 1 of the protocol went live on Ethereum mainnet in November 2017 and…

Analysis
The protocol relies on a request-for-quote model, in which peers provide prices for direct exchanges. This mechanism avoids order books on the Ethereum chain. The project has been mature since 2017. The token serves governance, staking, meaning the locking of funds to secure the network, and fee reductions.
