HTLC based atomic swaps: "wrapped REV" ERC20 token?

[dckc]

connecting REV to Uniswap seems like a good way to get some things moving

while looking for code to do HTLC / atomic swaps, I ran into another blockchain project using scala: https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair
bitcoin lightning thing "largest lightning node on mainnet"
https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair/tree/master/eclair-core/src/main/scala/fr/acinq/eclair/channel seems to be the relevant code, though that looks like a lot compared to...

https://github.com/chatch/hashed-timelock-contract-ethereum/blob/master/contracts/HashedTimelockERC20.sol

also ran into something way too interesting: proceedings of formal methods on blockchains https://fmbc.gitlab.io/2020/files/FMBC2020.pdf

ooh... https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/blob/master/packages/zoe/src/contracts/atomicSwap.js

[dckc]

oh. that Agoric atomicSwap isn't cross-chain. it's within Agoric's ocap world.

How about this way? https://tbtc.network/developers/tbtc-security-model/

[dckc]

Yes, pegging is an alternative to HTLC and tBTC does look like an interesting point in the pegging design space.

Compared to HTLC, it still seems to require a fairly large number of parties to play the signer role:

Shortly after launch, there should be a group of roughly 80 private sale KEEP purchasers and a few other trusted parties signing for tBTC. Very soon an opportunity will be announced for more individuals to participate by staking ETH to become a signer. -- https://tbtc.network/faq

I know how HTLC works for swap. Alice pay Bob 10 REV on RChain, exchanging Bob's 10 WREV on Ethereum.
But how it works for Alice without Bob? if Alice wants to finish swap only with Rholang and Solidity smart contracts?

[dckc]

I am not aware of any technique for cross-chain swaps that doesn't involve parties on both sides that keep off-chain secrets.

https://gitcoin.co/grants/1454/wrapped-filecoin-wfil is an approach using a smart-contract on the ETH side and a DAO to approve the trusted parties on the filecoin side.

https://bridge.scrt.network/faq discusses an ETH<->SCRT bridge that's mostly a multi-sig contract on each side. "The bridge operators are very reputable staking operators: Figment, Staked, B-Harvest, Citadel.one and Enigma."
