Introduction
UnstoppableSwap is a protocol and desktop application for swapping Monero and Bitcoin. It uses atomic swaps to make trustless and private trades possible without the need for a centralized exchange.
Quick Start
To start using UnstoppableSwap, you need to install the application. Then you can do your first swap.
What is an Atomic Swap?
Atomic swaps are cross-blockchain transactions that are executed without the need for a centralized exchange. They are atomic because the protocol guarantees that you will not lose your assets if the swap fails1.
How does UnstoppableSwap work?
UnstoppableSwap is a protocol and desktop application. When you run the app, you can connect to and swap with different makers. Makers are users who run the UnstoppableSwap protocol on their own computer or server to provide liquidity. They buy your Bitcoin and in return give you Monero. Each maker can set their own prices and fees.
