Bitcoin–Monero Cross-chain Atomic Swap
[!CAUTION]
THIS REPO IS UNMAINTAINED
PLEASE USE eigenwallet INSTEAD
This repository is unmaintained. The original developers (@comit-network) have moved on to other projects. Community volunteers are continuing development at eigenwallet/core, which includes a graphical user interface. Please note that the fork has introduced network-level breaking changes, making it incompatible with peers running this repository - you will not be able to initiate swaps with them.
This repository hosts an MVP for atomically swapping BTC to XMR. It implements the protocol described in section 3 of this paper.
More information about the protocol in this presentation and this blog post.
Currently, swaps are only offered in one direction with the swap CLI on the buying side (send BTC, receive XMR).
We are working on implementing a protocol where XMR moves first, but are currently blocked by advances on Monero itself.
You can read this blogpost for more information.
swap binary release for your operating system../swap --testnet list-sellers./swap --testnet buy-xmr --receive-address --change-address --seller For more detailed documentation on the CLI, see this README.
Swapping of course needs two parties - and the CLI is only one of them: The taker that occasionally starts a swap with a market maker.
If you are interested in becoming a market maker you will want to run the second binary provided in this repository: asb - the Automated Swap Backend.
Detailed documentation for the asb can be found in this README.
This software is using cryptography that has not been formally audited. While we do our best to make it safe, it is up to the user to evaluate whether or not it is safe to use for their purposes. Please also see section 15 and 16 of the license.
Keep in mind that swaps are complex protocols, it is recommended to not do anything fancy when moving coins in and out. It is not recommended to bump fees when swapping because it can have unpredictable side effects.
We encourage community contributions whether it be a bug fix or an improvement to the documentation. Please have a look at the contribution guidelines.
Please note that only the latest stable Rust toolchain is supported. All stable toolchains since 1.74 should work.
