 Re: Atomic Swaps

I am thinking of the atomic swap providers much the way I think of Fedi lightning providers. The swap providers do not have to be associated in any way with the "side chain controlers" but they do have to trust them. Only difference is the swap providers need to trust the side chain for the duration of up to two withdrawal windows (1year) where as with fedi lightning providers only need to trust until they request an on chain withdrawal. This is a much more intense capital requirement.
