As many of you know, this week marked the first cross-chain atomic swap. This is an important step in a direction that allows users to conduct trustless, cross-chain, over-the-counter (“OTC”) trades without a third party. This disintermediates the exchange process between cryptocurrencies that support these swap transactions. We dive deep into this topic and invite Jimmy Song in the studio to chat current events. Jimmy is a Bitcoin Core Contributor and caught the Bitcoin bug back in 2011. He’s a contributor to CoinDesk and has a popular Bitcoin blog. He’s been teaching blockchain to engineers for over three years.
