What is Politiswap?
Politiswap is a decentralized political trading platform that merges the dynamics of prediction markets like Polymarket with the social tokenization mechanisms of platforms such as Friendtech. At its core, Politiswap tokenizes elected officials—starting with all 541 members of the U.S. Congress—into unique on-chain assets called PolTokens. These tokens allow users to speculate on, trade, and engage with political figures in a gamified, blockchain-native ecosystem. Built on Uniswap V4 and deployed on the Base network, Politiswap introduces a radical form of civic interaction: “trading” politicians like stocks. This model democratizes political influence by giving ordinary citizens the tools to express their views and make market-driven predictions about real-world political figures—challenging the traditional dynamic where only the wealthy wield financial influence in politics. Politiswap brands itself with a bold ethos: “If politicians can trade stocks, citizens should be able to trade politicians.” By blending satire with serious infrastructure, Politiswap positions itself as a decentralized alternative to conventional political engagement, pushing the boundaries of what political participation can look like in the Web3 era.
