Re: Researching to leverage Hashed-Timelock Agreements (HTLAs) paradigm for establishing atomicity between different DLT networks for asset swaps with full decentralization

Theoretically it’s sound but the market liquidity isn’t there yet.  I’m
finishing up an ilp exchanger and working on an exchange next.   I did alot
of experimenting and one solution seems to be the best as far as
efficiency.  This will likely change in time
