About

Cross-chain atomic swap DEX on Particl's messaging network, trading BTC, XMR and LTC without accounts.

Analysis

OVERVIEW

BasicSwap runs atomic swaps directly between chains (BTC, XMR, LTC, FIRO, PART) with no platform fee, built on Particl's decentralized messaging network; Particl Stiftung is described as a Swiss non-profit foundation based in Zug.

LIMITS

The record discloses that an advisor, Charlie Shrem, has a historical conviction, notes there is no published independent security audit specifically for the BasicSwap code itself, and flags low trading volume and limited liquidity compared to custodial swap services.

USEFUL FOR

Fits users prioritizing a no-custodian, no-counterparty swap structure who accept thinner liquidity than custodial alternatives offer.
