ChangeNOW Breaks Speed Limits: Crypto Swaps Under 2 Minutes!

by

Ah, ChangeNOW, the virtuoso of the digital coin ballet, now claims to have cracked the code of speed! Crypto swaps in under two minutes, they say. Not just once, mind you, but as a *standard*. Bravo! A feat no one could imagine, except… perhaps anyone who has used the internet before?

So, ChangeNOW, that humble abode for over five million crypto enthusiasts, has apparently reduced its average cryptocurrency processing time to a mere two minutes. Could this be the modern-day equivalent of Michelangelo chiseling his masterpiece in record time? Probably not, but let’s applaud the effort! And let’s not forget, a “median” of four minutes. What an exquisite median, my friends!

With the web3 platforms now in full stride, users are finding themselves enthralled by a new and unusual obsession: speed. Not liquidity, nor reputation (who cares, right?) but the sheer, unadulterated swiftness of their crypto transactions. A survey from South Korea even revealed that 26.8% of investors would pick speed over other factors like liquidity. Well, well, South Korea, do tell us more!

Meanwhile, the folks over at Binance (who have asked to remain humble, of course) found that 17.2% of their users flocked to crypto just for the speed. I suppose their users are time travelers from the future? Alas, we all want things in an instant, but please, let’s not forget our roots. Speed is no longer a luxury, it’s practically a necessity. How quaint.

And now, in a dramatic plot twist, the very person responsible for this breakneck speed—Pauline Shangett, the Chief Strategy Officer of ChangeNOW—claims that just two years ago, 10-minute swaps were the norm. *Ten minutes!* The horror! And now? Under two minutes, my dear readers! A standard that no one saw coming. Truly a triumph for the human spirit.

According to the Swapzone Industry Report, ChangeNOW’s performance is, of course, independently validated. And here’s the kicker—most of the industry is still stuck with the cumbersome 9-10 minute swap. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

But wait, there’s more! Shangett predicts that by 2026, we’ll all be living in a world of *sub-minute* swaps. Forget the slow and the cumbersome; latency will be something we throw at the junkyard of history, never to be heard from again. What an exciting time to be alive!
