PaintSwap
Summary
PaintSwap is a decentralized NFT marketplace and DeFi protocol originally launched on the Fantom Opera blockchain in May 2021, which migrated to the Sonic chain (formerly Fantom) in late 2024. The platform operates an open NFT marketplace, an AMM DEX, yield farming, and an on-chain idle MMORPG called Estfor Kingdom, all powered by its native BRUSH token. No confirmed rug pull, hack, or regulatory action has been identified; the primary documented incident is a domain hijacking by a third-party registrar in October 2025.
