Anyswap

Cross-chain DEX and bridge protocol originally known as Anyswap. Multichain's official rebrand announcement states that Anyswap was founded in July 2020, was originally positioned as a cross-chain DEX, removed the DEX function in early 2021, and officially rebranded as Multichain on 2021-12-16. CoinDesk and later Multichain materials also describe Multichain as formerly Anyswap. HEI treats the Anyswap identity as rebranded rather than simply dead.

Notes and record state

Record note
HEI uses status rebranded and death_reason rebrand because Multichain's official announcement says Anyswap shall be known as Multichain from 2021-12-16. successor_id remains null because Multichain is not yet a canonical HEI entity. country_or_origin follows the Singapore dateline in official Multichain PR materials and should be treated as source-context based.
