Institutions execute live cross-chain HTLC swaps on Canton MainNet

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Arqitech has announced the successful execution of live, non-custodial, cross-chain atomic swaps between four institutions on Canton MainNet. These swaps utilized Hash-Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs) to exchange Canton Coin for USD Coin, with all parties retaining control of their private keys. The protocol incorporated two key innovations: a cooperative unwind feature allowing immediate cancellation of in-flight swaps and a tranche streaming mechanism for executing large trades as a series of smaller, more capital-efficient atomic tranches.
