• Homogeneous Security: The protocol establishes consistent cryptographic security for all permissionless participants. Security attributes remain unchanged when adding new networks or Solvers.
  • Battle Tested: The core technology of Atomic Swaps (HTLC) is successfully used in production for the Lightning Network.
  • No Pools: No single contract holds large amounts of funds, reducing the risk of being targeted by attackers.
  • Immutability: The contracts are immutable, eliminating the risks associated with upgrades.
  • Simplicity: PreHTLC contracts are straightforward locking mechanisms, typically consisting of about 200 lines of code in any smart contract language.
