Layerswap V8 Atomic Bridge
Permissionless, trustless cross-chain bridging protocol without Oracles
The Motivation
An Ideal bridging solution ❌ SHOULD NOT:
- Rely on third parties
- Require complex infrastructure
- Introduce additional security assumptions
It SHOULD be trustless, open to any participant, and free of external dependencies. This is where the concept of Atomic Swaps comes into play. Atomic Swaps allow for permissionless, trustless asset exchange between two parties without relying on any external verification.

Core concept
The network-adding process in the Layerswap protocol is similar to adding an ERC20 token to the Uniswap protocol, making bridging trustless and permissionless.
