Greatly reduce load onto the Electrum backend
We achieve our optimizations in three ways:

1. Batching calls instead of making them individually.

To get access to the batch calls, we replace all our
calls to the HTTP interface with RPC calls.

2. Never directly make network calls based on function
calls on the wallet.

Instead, inquiring about the status of a script always
just returns information based on local data. With every
call, we check when we last refreshed the local data and
do so if the data is considered to be too old. This
interval is configurable.

3. Use electrum's notification feature to get updated
with the latest blockheight.

XMR to BTC Atomic Swap

This repository hosts an MVP for atomically swapping BTC to XMR. It implements the protocol described in this paper.

Quick start

  1. Download the latest release for your operation system
  2. Run the binary: ./swap buy-xmr --receive-address <YOUR MONERO ADDRESS>
  3. Follow the instructions printed to the terminal

Limitations

For now, the MVP is limited to testnet3 on Bitcoin and stagenet on Monero.

How it works

This repository primarily hosts two components:

  • the swap CLI
  • the asb service

swap CLI

The swap CLI acts in the role of Bob and swaps BTC for XMR. See ./swap --help for a description of all commands. The main command is buy-xmr which automatically connects to an instance of asb.

asb service

asb is short for automated swap backend (we are open to suggestions for better names!). The service acts as the counter-party for the swap CLI in the role of Alice. It provides the CLI with a quote and the liquidity necessary for swapping BTC into XMR.
