ZetaChain Enables Cross-Chain Swaps Between Bitcoin and Ethereum
ZetaChain Enables Cross-Chain Swaps Between Bitcoin and Ethereum
🔀 Cross-Chain Swap Sensation!
ZetaChain, an EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain, has introduced a new feature that allows users to swap Bitcoin (BTC) for Ethereum (ETH) in a seamless cross-chain transaction. The process involves sending BTC to a designated address on the Bitcoin network, specifying the recipient address on the Ethereum network. ZetaChain's swap contract then receives the BTC as a ZRC-20 token, swaps it for ZRC-20 ETH, and withdraws the ETH to the specified recipient address on Ethereum. This innovative solution aims to bridge the gap between different blockchain networks, enabling interoperability and facilitating the development of decentralized applications (dApps) that can span multiple chains.
ZetaChain steps to swap BTC from Bitcoin → ETH on Ethereum: 1. Bob sends 1 BTC to TSS address on Bitcoin (and specifies the recipient address on Ethereum). 2. Swap contract receives 1 ZRC-20 BTC, swaps for ZRC-20 ETH, withdraws ETH to recipient address. 3. There is no step 3!
