Chainflip: Revolutionizing Cross-Chain Swaps

Unveiling a New Era in DeFi

SwapKit, the robust SDK development suite powering THORSwap, is excited to share a significant milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. On March 1st, THORSwap integrated Chainflip, first new cross-chain protocol supported on THORSwap since inception and significantly amplified trading volumes on Chainflip.

The Power of SwapKit: Driving THORSwap’s Success

SwapKit has been the cornerstone of THORSwap’s operations, providing a comprehensive set of tools and APIs that facilitate seamless cross-chain transactions. The integration of Chainflip through SwapKit has unlocked new possibilities for THORSwap users, offering access to innovative cross-chain swap capabilities and enhancing the diversity of trading routes. This strategic move has not only expanded the asset spectrum accessible to users but also driven remarkable trading volumes, with THORSwap channeling $16.39 million to Chainflip in just 22 days. According to Chainflip’s broker dashboard, THORSwap is now Chainflip’s leading independent broker, expecting to surpass Chainflip’s own broker, which launched weeks in advance.

Embracing Next-Gen Cross-Chain Technology

The collaboration with Chainflip signifies a leap forward in SwapKit’s journey to refine and expand the DeFi ecosystem. By incorporating Chainflip’s advanced cross-chain liquidity solutions, SwapKit has enabled THORSwap to facilitate more efficient, secure, and versatile trading operations. Users now enjoy a broader range of assets, including native Bitcoin and new leading layer 1 blockchains like Polkadot, addressing the persistent challenges of liquidity and interoperability in the crypto world.

“We are super excited to have one of the leading native BTC swapping interfaces supporting Chainflip, both through the frontend and for third party integrators using Swapkit. We hope that we can increase route diversity and asset coverage for all THORSwap users!”

Simon Harman, Founder and CEO of Chainflip

Through Chainflip, THORSwap users now have new additional liquidity routes to native BitcoinEthereum$USDC (ERC20), $FLIP (ERC20) and a brand new Layer 1 blockchain — Polkadot ($DOT).

What is Chainflip?

Innovative Cross-Chain Liquidity Solution

Chainflip’s innovative framework offers a seamless approach to cross-chain liquidity, eliminating traditional barriers like wrapped tokens and centralized intermediaries. Through SwapKit, this integration nurtures a decentralized, secure trading environment, echoing the core principles of DeFi.

Advanced Security and Operational Efficiency

At the core of Chainflip’s technology is it’s use of Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and in particular Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS), with the FROST Signature Scheme enhancing the validators’ security and signing efficiency. These sophisticated cryptographic methods are crucial for maintaining secure and swift cross-chain transactions within Chainflip’s ecosystem.

Chainflip is a decentralized system where secure vaults managed by 150+ validators across different blockchains facilitate quick and secure asset swaps. The State Chain of Chainflip records these transactions, ensuring a transparent and safe trading environment.

Dynamic Liquidity and Just-In-Time (JIT) Automated Market Making

The integration features Chainflip’s Just-In-Time (JIT) Automated Market Maker (AMM) design, which dynamically adjusts liquidity and pricing for trading pairs, significantly reducing slippage and enhancing the efficiency of cross-chain trades. This novel AMM design aligns with the dynamic needs of the market, providing optimized liquidity and pricing.

A Shared Vision for a Decentralized Financial Future

The partnership between SwapKit and Chainflip signifies a strategic move towards a fully integrated DeFi ecosystem, facilitating a more accessible, efficient, and secure platform for trading a diverse range of assets, including native Bitcoin and Polkadot. This collaboration is not just a milestone for SwapKit but a significant stride towards realizing the full potential of decentralized finance.


SwapKit: A Gateway to Decentralized Innovation

SwapKit’s integration of Chainflip’s network empowers developers and teams of all scales with an open-source, robust toolkit for building sophisticated, non-custodial, and permissionless DeFi products. This suite of tools is at the core of THORSwap and other prominent DeFi platforms, enriched by the cross-chain functionalities of Chainflip and THORChain.

The success story of THORSwap and Chainflip is a testament to the capabilities and potential of SwapKit. By leveraging our SDK, projects can tap into a wealth of cross-chain resources, optimize their trading mechanisms, and explore new horizons in the DeFi space.

Join the Cross-Chain Revolution

We invite other projects and teams to experience the transformative power of SwapKit. Integrate our SDK to access state-of-the-art cross-chain technology, expand your trading operations, and drive significant volume and growth, just as THORSwap has achieved with Chainflip. SwapKit is more than a tool; it’s a gateway to the future of decentralized finance, offering a path to innovate, excel, and lead in the ever-evolving DeFi landscape.
