TRAIN Protocol
Introduction
A trust-minimized, permissionless cross-chain bridging (swapping) solution.
The TRAIN Protocol (TRustless Atomic INtents) is a peer-to-peer system for bridging and swapping crypto assets between blockchain networks. The protocol is implemented as a set of persistent, non-upgradable smart contracts deployed to all supported networks.
- TRAIN is built on top of an improved version of Atomic Swaps. This allows two parties—the User and the Solver—to exchange assets trust-minimizedly across different chains. Users send their Intents to Solvers, who fulfill these Intents using Atomic Swaps.
- There are no third parties or gatekeepers. The security of the exchange is fully ensured by:
- The cryptographic protocol (Atomic Swaps)
- Local verification through a Light Client running in the User’s browser
- An on-chain Discovery Registry where new Solvers and Networks can permissionlessly register.
