Swipe1: How the Swipe-to-Predict App Works
Swipe1 is a prediction app built for phones. Instead of order books and price charts, it shows one question at a time and you swipe to answer yes or no. It runs on BNB Chain and, when we checked in November 2026, was still in early access, with points rather than money as rewards. This guide explains how it works, what is and is not live yet, and what to watch for.
How Swipe1 Works
- See a question, such as whether Bitcoin will reach a certain price this year.
- Swipe your answer: yes or no with a single gesture, or skip to the next question.
- Track the outcome and see how the rest of the community answered.
Swipe1's own site says you can sign in with a Gmail account or a crypto wallet, that predicting is free during early access, and that answers earn Swipe1 Points. Its site says questions cover topics from crypto to pop culture, and it shows rankings and leaderboards so you can follow other users.
Seasons and Points
Swipe1 runs in seasons. According to its July 2026 announcement, the free Season 0 beta began on 7 July 2026, with users earning points for taking part. The project has said later seasons will add a deposit phase and then live prediction markets with real trading. Its own site still described the app as "in early development" when we checked.
Points are not money. Swipe1 has not said what points will be worth, and early crypto projects often change or cancel reward plans. Treat any promise that points will turn into tokens or cash as a hope, not a guarantee.
How Swipe1 Compares
| Point | Swipe1 | Polymarket | Kalshi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage | Early access | Live | Live |
| Money at stake | None yet; points only | USDC stablecoin | US dollars |
| How you trade | Swipe yes or no | Buy and sell shares | Buy and sell contracts |
| Built on | BNB Chain | Crypto, settled in USDC | Regulated US exchange |
Polymarket is the closest comparison, as a crypto-based market with real money at stake today; our Polymarket guide covers how its trading and fees work. Swipe1's difference is the format: it is built for quick opinions on a phone rather than for traders.
Can Malaysians Use Swipe1?
We found no list of blocked countries on Swipe1's site, and during the free points phase no money changes hands. That may change once deposits and real trading begin. Like every prediction market, Swipe1 is not licensed in Malaysia, and once real money is involved, staking it on the outcome of an event can fall under Malaysian betting law.
Risks to Know
- Fake sites and airdrops. Early crypto projects attract copycat websites and fake reward links. Never connect your wallet or approve a transaction from a link sent by message.
- Wallet approvals. Signing in with a wallet is different from approving a transaction. Read every wallet prompt before you confirm it.
- Plans can change. Seasons, points and launch dates are set by the project and can move.
If you do move crypto in or out of a platform like this, the same checks apply as for any crypto transfer; our guide to crypto payments and wallet safety explains them.
