Crypt0-Bear started working on a PoC cross-chain atomic swap protocol between Monero and Ethereum

Crypt0-Bear1 started working on a cross-chain atomic swap protocol2 between Monero and Ethereum.

The swap is very similar to the Commit network btc-xmr atomic swaps but differs in that the hashed timelock contract is replaced with an escrow smart contract with built in auto reverse transactions.

Might need some help when I get to the adaptor signatures part.

A Draft Proposal3 is available that showcases how the swap process should work.

To get involved in the development process you can join the #XMR-ETH-Swaps4 channel on Matrix.
