binarybaron submits CCS proposal to build a XMR-BTC atomic swap desktop GUI prototype

Monero enthusiast and creator of UnstoppableSwap¹ binarybaron² has submitted a CCS proposal³ to develop a XMR-BTC atomic swap desktop GUI prototype:

There are several swap providers active on the mainnet right now. Trustless cross-chain trades are becoming a reality. While the swap-cli developed as part of the MVP is usable and indeed works, it is not suitable for use by non-technical people who don’t have experience navigating the command line.

The software will be a free and open source Electron⁴ app, with releases planned for Linux, Windows and macOS.

The Rendezvous⁵ protocol and Tor integration should come after the basic functionality is reasonably stable, according to binarybaron.

Total funding: 52 XMR (45 mvp + 4 tor + 0.5/mo for 6 months maintenance).

ETA: 3-4 months (+ TBD, tor integration).

Update 22/4/24: mainnet demo available⁶.

Update 22/5/26: second CCS proposal submitted⁷.
