binarybaron1 and einliterflashche2 have posted a fifth progress report3 for their CCS proposal to continue XMR-BTC atomic swaps4 development and help transform the ecosystem from a prototype into a mature marketplace5:

This month we have worked on several key areas including wallet2 bindings migration, Electrum load balancing, a breaking protocol change for faster refunds, improved peer discovery with local caching, UI/UX enhancements, security documentation updates, and ongoing privacy features like Tor bridge support and Whonix/Tails compatibility. [..] Liquidity keeps trending up: offers > 7 BTC in total, with some makers seeing > 1 BTC/day volume.

Work overview
