Atomic Swaps allow complete strangers to safely exchange between different cryptocurrencies without the need for a 3rd party (i.e. an exchange). The technology is still in its early days but once matured will allow free convertibility between cryptocurrencies.

Wow, thanks Nate, you made it easier for me to undestand.
Just found you. Very clear and professional and love the outtakes. Thanks
This is an awesome channel. Helped me to understand crypto when I first got involved. Helping me now with atomic swaps. I think atomic swaps, if explained in plain english, can be a HUGE factor in helping to get crypto mainstream because they are such an extreme improvement over the systems we have in place right now
Thank you for this amazing channel!
The best explanation of Atomic Swaps. Thank you
This made it very easy to understand. I really like the baseball trading analogy
Well explained Nate!
Thank you for easy explanation!
Awesome video! thanks Nate
APOLLO CURRENCY ATOMIC SWAPS Coming in May to their DEX. APOLLO is literally the most cutting edge crypto on the Market. They just made crypto history with their release of Sharding which even ETH tried and couldnt do. They are also the fastest and most private coin. So excited about this Project
I hate, when people tell me to subscribe, especially when it's before the video.
I almost always subscribe after watching the first video of a person, when I liked it, and I almost never activate the bell, except for a hand full of my favorite channels.
Don't watch and dislike.
5:16 not exactly though. if user #1 wants to continue with the swap and user #2 does not, user #2 cannot walk away.
Isn‘t that what the time lock is for?
Nate God bless you and Kim thanks for the info+++ on atomic swaps-
Thank you very much.
2:51 why cant fiat currencies be exchanged in atomic swaps? A digital yuan cant be swapped for a digital ruble even if both their central banks issues digital fiat?
Great video, gives me confidence for the future of efficient private transactions of crypto.
I was pretty sure the original intent was for the "exchange" to be a one-party exchange... makes sense. The "costs" involved would make perfect sense since this swapping ability is really important for the legacy crypto systems to be usable and survive into the future.
Under the circumstances as you present them I would expect to be able to see a list of "asks" and "bids" so that people could state exactly how many BTC they would be willing to exchange for how many LTC....
I can see a market emerging but then again, such markets already exist all over the world in the form of standard crypto exchanges. It's likely price will be set there without much divergence seen on atomic swap markets.
Can you please do a video on Quantum-Resistant Cryptocurrencies like IOTA and how they differ from those that are supposedly more vulnerable?
I doubt IOTA has any real resistance to quantum computing, given how lax they were with rolling their own crypto (see: old.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/82kt9r/why_is_rolling_your_own_crypto_so_bad/)
It's probably just a buzzword at this point for a crypto to claim quantum resistance, much like ASIC resistance.
I use 100% decentralized and easy-to-use Atomic Swaps through Beam Privacy's atomic swaps board. I've been in crypto since 2016 looking for atomic swaps and that one's my favorite
Hi Nate. Thx for your clarity, it helps a lot. Just a question, you do the exchange, what about the costs for processing? The gas? How/from where is that collected? Thx
Those fees would be collected from your balance as part of the transaction and handled automatically. They should be very low so not really an issue.
@@99Bitcoins Great, thx
thank you!
thank you....
That was excellent.
Thank you for this video. Can I as a business become the third party atomic sway provider? If not where can I find a third party atomic swap provider?
Great video! Would love to see Replace-By-Fee video explained in same format. 10x.
Always Great 👍
What prevents one side to use the preimage and cash out both coins at the same time (or really close)
Can it possible to Any Altcoins of any algorithms to BTC...
You are underrated and professional as f.uck.

Question: What if the first person in atomic swap is corrupt? What if he doesn’t shares the key with second person?
Thanks for a helpful vid.. great baseball analogy .... one question if i may... how do buyers and sellers find each other? Isn't there still a need for a market maker of sorts? Regards Simon... Australia
AtomicDEX from $KMD use a perr to peer orderbook, market maker have indeed to put up some order on different pairs to create liquidity
Great explanation Nate. CLAP! CLAP!
This is an amazing explanation! I have some questions though:
I guess, to use your example, BTC and LTC chains have to be interoperable of some sort? How is this achieved? Through sidechains?
Also, how can this be done free of charge without any fees involved? Is this all because of the Lightning Network? To be fair, I still need to research that topic.
Atomic swaps rely on the same technology which facilitates Lightning Networks, specificially Hash Time-Locked Contracts.
HTLCs are essentially smart contracts which release funds contingent upon a condition being met within a certain timeframe. In the case of atomic swaps, the condition is the receipt of the crypto.
So person A who wants LTC sends their BTC to a smart contract. This smart contract pays out the BTC to person B's address provided person B's LTC is received by the contract by X time and date. Person B's situation is a mirror.
As far as I know, for atomic swaps to work, both coins must be Lightning-compatible.
@@99Bitcoins thank you for replying!
Good
What is the different between Atomic Swaps and such other things like pancake swap or UniSwap? Is it the Smart Contract inclusion? Can you really easily be scammed by using non-atomic swaps? Thanks for this explanation

Are there tax implications here on the swap?
What does the atomic swap benefit from?

aion does it ! isi'nt it? they building right? plz review
I notice they are at aion.network but other than that I am still just wondering about it.....
Any cryptocurrency which supports Lightning Segwit can achieve atomic swap functionality
Check out Apollo currency (APL) with decentralized wallet, atomic swaps and sharding comming soon!
What s going on with the conventional DEX e.g. UNISWAP, if ATOMIC SWAP becomes alive?
I'm happy

if you want to sell your Bitcoins and get CAD, you'll need to:
1. Find a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency exchange
2. Deposit your Bitcoins on that exchange
3. Sell your Bitcoins for CAD on the exchange
4. Withdraw the CAD to your bank account
Here's a list of the top Bitcoin exchange today: 99bitcoins.com/best-bitcoin-exchanges-comparison-review/
Hope this helps
Do I get taxed when I swap coins? I could just keep swapping them easily making money apart from trading fee! But I wouldn’t cash out for a good 6 years so continually swapping coins and getting more money does that work? No one has really ever answered this question
is this tied to cosmos
How is the exchange rate determined?
In the implementations I've seen, an order book is used which resembles a regular exchange. You browse existing orders or place one of your own. In other words, the exchange rate is determined by market participants.
@@99Bitcoins are atomic swaps a xrp killer (not needing a bridging currency)? Thanks
@@Discoworx indeed atomic swaps does not need proxy tokens to function
Whenever you say "Bitcoins" (plural) I feel so left out.
XD, even numbers less than 1 have plural like I have 0.00001 bitcoins
@@priyeshsrivastava1301 that true. I have a lot of Satoshis then.
Ugh, eff off with the lightning crap. Other than that, great video.
Is there a way to profit from crypto swaps?
This is for Nate rooster haircut. Will China digital currency be interchangeable with Bitcoin rrsp or any other
@@jessicawiley9592 I don't think we know each other maybe I reply to a post to yours or something but I can't bring your picture up large enough to really recognize
Who needs atomic swap when you have LTX and the layer 0 standard
Osmosis🥰
ILP :)
Isn't this just mechanism to facilitate P2P transaction? Doesn't this makes crypto exchanges obsolete?
if the atomic swap powered DEX you are using have enough liquidity it makes CEX obsolete indeed because it's cheaper (less fees) faster (no deposit delays) safer (you always own you keys) and more private (there is no KYC since you are using a DEX)
But like I said it needs liquidity (i.e people marketmaking)
In my opinion $KMD with AtomicDEX is leading this tech
I came here because of Atomic symbol seen on the simpsons family
Hello everyone. Monero >< bitcoin atomic swap started today 😎 this is going to rock the world
