SecondSwap and TokenOps Forge Game-Changing Partnership to Extend Token Lifecycle Into Secondary Liquidity Markets
Two blockchain heavyweights just rewrote the rulebook for token longevity.
Secondary Liquidity Breakthrough
SecondSwap's decentralized exchange infrastructure merges with TokenOps' lifecycle management platform—creating an end-to-end pipeline that transforms stagnant tokens into active market participants. The partnership bypasses traditional liquidity bottlenecks that plague even established projects.
Token Resurrection Protocol
The integration automatically identifies dormant tokens and injects them into SecondSwap's liquidity pools. No more manual interventions or waiting for market makers to notice undervalued assets. The system cuts through red tape like a hot knife through butter.
Finance Traditionalists Beware
While Wall Street still debates tokenization, these platforms actually deliver functioning secondary markets. The collaboration proves that in crypto, partnerships create value faster than traditional finance's committee meetings—and without the seven-figure consultant fees.
This isn't just another integration—it's a fundamental shift in how tokens gain and maintain market relevance long after their initial launch hype fades.
SecondSwap, a decentralized marketplace for locked tokens trading, today announced a partnership with TokenOps, a comprehensive token operations and lifecycle management platform.
This integration will extend TokenOps’ lifecycle management into SecondSwap’s secondary marketplace, giving issuers and investors access to liquidity while preserving vesting conditions.
Having distributed over $1 billion in tokens and tracking over $14 bln in TVL for notable clients such as Trusted by 1inch, Morpho, Gelato, and more, TokenOps is one of the largest providers for token management services bringing significant expertise, inventory, and operational depth to the partnership.
“TokenOps was built to give issuers full visibility and control across the entire token lifecycle, from launch to vesting to unlocks. By extending that lifecycle into SecondSwap’s secondary marketplace, we’re ensuring issuers can manage and stay in control of not just supply, but also liquidity, in a way that aligns with their long-term strategy,”
The locked token market is valued at $1.5–$2.5 trillion, representing illiquid assets tied to strict vesting schedules and unlocking periods across allocations for insiders, foundations, and other contributors. Roughly $4.5 billion in tokens unlock each month, yet pre-arranged agreements often delay trading to protect price integrity, manage circulation, and maintain alignment among stakeholders.
SecondSwap addresses this liquidity challenge by enabling issuer-approved, smart contract-enforced secondary markets that respect vesting schedules. The platform introduces fresh capital and strategic investors into play, creating new market dynamics and stronger stakeholder alignment, all without having to expand circulating tokens.
“Our goal is to be the world’s leading decentralized marketplace for trading locked tokens. This partnership with TokenOps strengthens that vision by bringing yet another critical pool of locked token inventory for secondary trading,”“Having more inventory and options for buyers attracts users and strengthens capital flows, which is what sellers are seeking when unlocking their tokens. This reinforces our position as the first DEX purpose-built to facilitate these transactions with security and transparency.”
Now live on Ethereum, Avalanche, and Solana, SecondSwap is solidifying its market position as the go-to marketplace for token issuers, foundations, and holders seeking to access liquidity options while preserving vesting conditions.
Whether you’re a token issuer or foundation, Web3 project, token management platform, or trader, SecondSwap offers a secondary trading marketplace built for sellers to go from locked to liquid and for buyers to purchase these exclusive locked tokens at discounted prices.
All trades are issuer-linked, smart contract-enforced, and keep vesting schedules intact.
