Lendasat Unveils Lendaswap: Non-Custodial Cross Blockchain Exchange for Bitcoin and Stablecoins
Summary
Lendasat, a Bitcoin-native peer-to-peer lending platform, has launched Lendaswap, an atomic swap exchange built on the Arkade protocol. This platform allows for instant, non-custodial trading between Bitcoin and stablecoins across Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, utilizing HTLC-based atomic swaps similar to the Lightning Network. Users can swap BTC for stablecoins and vice versa without relinquishing self-custody, creating accounts, or using wrapped tokens. Lendaswap initially supports Ethereum and Polygon, with plans to expand to Base, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Co-founder Philipp Hoenisch stated that Lendaswap is a significant step for BitcoinFi, enabling permissionless movement between Bitcoin and stablecoins. The underlying smart contracts and frontend interface for Lendaswap are open source, and the exchange is currently live.
