What are Cross-Chain Swaps?
Cross-chain swaps refer to the ability to exchange one crypto directly for another across separate blockchain networks without the need for a centralized intermediary โ๏ธ
This process allows users to maintain full control of their funds throughout the transaction, eliminating the risks and fees associated with centralized exchanges.
By utilizing smart contracts and cryptographic principles, cross-chain swaps ensure a secure and trustless exchange of assets. Pretty neat! ๐
