Switcheo has released its SWTH Token Usage report for Q3 2019. The report highlights the number of tokens utilized for trading fees on the Switcheo Exchange.

Switcheo’s native SWTH tokens are permanently removed from circulation when individuals use SWTH to pay for trading fees on the non-custodial trading platform. When a NEO-based trade is conducted, the SWTH are “burnt” immediately by becoming locked in the smart contract. However, when trades are made on the EOS or Ethereum blockchain, Switcheo collects and burns the accrued fees once a quarter by sending them to a null address.

In Q3 2019, 2,283,653 SWTH tokens were locked on NEO-based contracts, and an additional 1,258,971 SWTH tokens were locked from Ethereum and EOS-based fees. Q3 2019’s total token burn was nearly one million SWTH lower than the previous quarter. The percentage of eligible trades that used SWTH for fees also dropped from 66% to 48.27%.

Quarterly token burns in 2019 can be seen below:

  • Q1 2019: 3,328,085 SWTH burned
  • Q2 2019: 4,517,059 SWTH burned
  • Q3 2019: 3,542,624 SWTH burned

In 2019 a total of 13,718,429 SWTH tokens have been burnt or removed from a circulating supply of 700 million SWTH.
