This sounds very exciting. Atomic swaps are an interesting way to swap tokens on an exchange without wrapping or using intermediaries. This involves time lock smart contract custodians acting as escrow agents and both parties to the swap verifying terms are met. But the idea of using atomic swaps to create Liquidity Pools makes my brain hurt a little thinking of its complexity in terms of smart contract custodians and escrows, along with LP Tokens as bonuses to blockchain Tokens as rewards to LP providers. There are interesting variables on the road to more fascinating DeFi opportunities.
Thank you for writing about Thorchain and Rune, it sounds like an interesting project. I am encouraged by these developments.
I am excited by the news about Bitcoin and read in their GitHub they are trying to reduce the mining fees. I am curious if they considered integrating the side chain lightening which has micro transactions in bitcoin. I will read more.
