Coinswap - trustless, self-custodial atomic swap protocol

[cygan]

today i came across this Coinswap app, which i’d like to share with you here
as i couldn’t find a suitable thread using the search function, i've gone ahead and started this one.
the app currently offers the following features:

• customize your swap as per need
• [shred old transaction history. advanced utxo sanitization
• [swap payments. decoupling sender and receiver history.

It looks amazing, but also difficult to understand how it exactly works. Anyway, i notice they have really unique licensing option on their source code.

I've seen some project let you choose between open source license or propriety license (with paid support or feature), but this one is entirely different.

It's a new concept, a cycle of Hashlock, Timelock, and MuSig2 contracts where the hop doesn't communicate directly but rather via Taker > Maker0 > Maker1 > Taker.

The main limitation of this service is that you need a Bitcoin full node to become a Maker or Taker, something I don't think most traders can provide.

I have gone through the github link and also read some of the use cases/promised use cases. At a glance everything feel fine and privacy focused. But a deep scrutiny might leave us with some questions.

• About shredding old transaction history; To me, this sounds more of a marketing language. for instance, on the bitcoin blockchain, the transaction history is not actually erased. The best that can be done is to obfuscate it or make it harder to trace.
• The idea of decoupling sender and receiver history is very possible is they introduce the eCash interoperability. The only concern will be the trust in the mint and ofchain transactions.

It looks amazing, but also difficult to understand how it exactly works. Anyway, i notice they have really unique licensing option on their source code.

Maybe the combination of many privacy tools and systems make it more complex. Sometimes, a well understood single mechanism could be more effective that complex systems that are difficult to understand and use.

Nothing new. Citadel has just implemented Gregory Maxwell’s original idea ^{first expressed on forum in 2013} using Taproot contract. It appears that their associated tools (Taker app and Maker server) are built specifically to run on Mutinynet, so performing swaps with these tools is intended solely for testing their Taproot‑based protocol rather than for real‑world use.
