Swym looks fun. Do you custodian the funds? Is there a business model? It's not clear on the site.
Love the insurance/estate/debt refinancing plays with Bitcoin. I assume a lot of big companies in Bitcoin will come from this direction.
The prizes for Swym come from the sats forwarded to lending partners, which are all custodial models that offer lending and interest accounts like blockfi, celsius, etc. I'm hopeful that offchain breakthroughs present more censorship-resistant options going forward because blockfi aint it! lend.hodlhodl.com seems promising, some others using liquid, and atomic.loans offering non-custodial yield with dlc's paint me optimistic.

I see so on the backend Swym is depositing the funds into Blockfi, etc, and loaning the funds out and returning the yield to users in the form of rewards?

Yeah thats a good summary, inspired by uk premium bonds / prize-linked savings

Very cool. I love the ingenuity - it's a kind of a UX arbitrage.
