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 eigenwallet work?

eigenwallet 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 eigenwallet 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.
