Purpose and scope
This document describes the virtual asset services provided by Swapo and sets out their operational scope, Swapo's responsibilities, the limits of its activity and the activities it does not provide.
Swapo operates in the intermediary category and offers exclusively the services described here. The services are intended for individuals and legal entities and are subject to eligibility criteria, the internal policies on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing, and the applicable rules of conduct and client protection.
Providing any service not covered by this document is prohibited without prior review of this description and compliance with the applicable regulatory duties, including prior notice to or prior authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil, as the case may be.
Intermediation of purchases and sales
Swapo intermediates the purchase and sale of virtual assets between its clients and partner liquidity providers or trading platforms, domestic or foreign, as applicable. The flow of an order is as follows:
- The client, previously registered and approved in the identification procedures (KYC), submits the purchase or sale order through the channels Swapo makes available.
- Swapo checks that the order complies with operational, regulatory and risk limits.
- The order is forwarded to the partner liquidity provider or platform for execution.
- After execution, the virtual asset is transferred according to the client's instructions, subject to the operating model adopted.
Responsibilities of Swapo and the client
Swapo is responsible for:
- Receiving, validating and forwarding client orders.
- Performing registration, regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering checks.
- Recording transactions and keeping the information required by the applicable regulations.
- Making the notices and reports to the competent authorities, when required.
The client is responsible for:
- Defining the terms of the purchase or sale order.
- Correctly indicating the destination or source wallet for the virtual assets.
- Providing truthful, complete and up-to-date information.
Service limits and risks

No custody
Swapo declares that it does not provide virtual asset custody services and that it does not, under any circumstances, hold exclusive or unilateral control of the private keys associated with its clients' virtual assets.

Virtual asset transfers
Swapo enables the transfer of virtual assets between wallets, according to the client's instructions and subject to the applicable operational, regulatory and anti-money laundering limits.
Swapo does not guarantee confirmation of the transaction on the underlying network and is not liable for delays or failures arising from the operation of the distributed networks used.
