About Proton

Proton is a blockchain designed specifically for consumer-facing payment applications, featuring built-in identity and KYC solutions, a human-readable account system, and free transactions for users. The platform enables developers to build financial applications where users can authenticate using usernames instead of complex wallet addresses. Proton includes a built-in decentralized exchange, lending protocols, and metal-backed payment cards through partners. The XPR token is used for staking validators and governance, while Metal Pay (the company behind Proton) uses the blockchain for its payment applications.

How to Swap XPR

Swapping Proton (XPR) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. XPR runs on The Open Network (TON), supported by Tonkeeper, TON Wallet, and Ledger. Open SyntheticSwap, select XPR as source or target, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the live rate. TON's fast block times mean your swap settles within seconds — the destination asset arrives directly in your wallet without any custody.

How to Store XPR

Store XPR in the official Proton Wallet (available on iOS and Android) which features human-readable usernames for easy address management.
