Power Swap
Rooms open on a headcount, which means that for most of the day every one of them is closed. PowerSwap is the answer to what you do then: it is deliberately not gated on rooms, so you can earn against the exchanges that have shipped at any hour, and bank points ready to spend the moment a room opens.

Always open, on purpose
PowerSwap does not close when the rooms do. Gating it on an open room would close the one door that exists for the hours when every other door is closed, which is most of them.
The only things that close it are the master switch and a platform with nothing shipped at all — there would be no exchange to earn against.
A session also checks you into any room that opens while it is still running, because matching inside a live room is scoped to that room's cohort.
What it rotates, and what it pays
It rotates the exchanges that have LAUNCHED, which is not the same as the exchanges that are open. A launched exchange has a flow, a queue and demand sitting in it whether or not its room is live.
You choose at least 2 exchange types for an Instagram session, because fewer than that is not a rotation. TikTok accepts 1, and has to: only one TikTok exchange has shipped.
The rate is one engagement per point better than running an exchange on its own: 6 engagements to a point on the free tier against 7, 5 on Pro and 4 on Max. That better rate is the entire reason to use it.
When the points arrive
On the same terms as everywhere else. At a health score of 95 or above they land immediately; below it they and the engagements they buy wait 24 hours.
The bonus point a PowerSwap session pays is not an exception to that. This site said PowerSwap points were credited immediately, which was true only for accounts already at the instant tier.
Common questions
Can I use PodSwap when no room is open?
Yes. PowerSwap is deliberately not gated on rooms — it is the surface you use while they are shut. You earn against the exchanges that have shipped and bank the points for the moment a room opens.
Is PowerSwap available on TikTok?
Yes. It needs one shipped exchange on a platform, and TikTok's comment exchange has shipped. This site said for some time that it needed two and was therefore unavailable on TikTok, which was wrong.
What does PowerSwap pay?
One engagement per point better than running an exchange alone: 6 engagements earn a point on the free tier rather than 7.
