Could you please explain in simple terms how swaps work in the world of finance and cryptocurrency? I'm particularly interested in understanding the mechanics behind them and how they are used to manage risk or speculate on market movements. Are there any specific types of swaps that are commonly used in the industry? And how do they differ from other financial instruments like options or futures? I'm looking forward to hearing your insights on this topic.

The payments exchanged are typically based on interest rates, with the nominal amount of the swap acting as the foundation for these calculations.
