In addition to the
Komodo Core Daemon updates, the Komodo Team has done incredible work on its flagship application,
Komodo Wallet. Some users might have lost track of the development history, from where it all started to where it has led us today. For those interested, here's a brief overview:
After BarterDEX evolved into AtomicDEX, the development focus, beyond adding new blockchains and platforms for the wallet and atomic swaps, was to unify the functionality across all platforms. This effort resulted in the introduction of the mm2 application/library, which became the core of AtomicDEX across all platforms.
As a logical progression, AtomicDEX was rebranded to Komodo Wallet, and the mm2 core was renamed to the
Komodo DeFi Framework (KDF), which is its current name. The KDF core is open source and powers all instances of Komodo Wallet, including the desktop and mobile applications, the
web version, and more.
The
KDF can handle various coins and platforms, serving as both a wallet and a decentralized exchange (DEX). It enables atomic swaps between different UTXO-based coins and even between EVM-based chains. Importantly, all of this is done
natively, without the use of intermediate tokens or a "server part." It utilizes well-known HTLC atomic swaps, making it (one of the) best-known implementations of
Atomic Swaps at this time.
However, KDF itself is a building block for developers; regular users should use the
Komodo Wallet, which is available on most popular platforms and has both desktop and mobile versions. The web version also offers limited support for hardware wallets, such as Trezor, with Ledger support coming soon.
