Hi HN,

We’ve been working on NativeSwap.io, a low-cost decentralized cross-chain swap platform. It lets users swap native assets (e.g. BTC <--> DOGE) directly, without using wrapped tokens or centralized bridges.

Our goal is to make cross-chain swaps cheaper, simpler, and safer. The platform is fully non-custodial and supports both regular and streaming swaps. Under the hood, it leverages liquidity from protocols like ThorChain and Maya Protocol.

Currently, We support the following blockchains:

- Bitcoin - Ethereum - BNB Smart Chain - Ripple - Dogecoin - Litecoin - Bitcoin Cash - Zcash - Base - Avalanche - Arbitrum - Dash - Radix - ThorChain - Maya Protocol

More are on the way.

We currently support Metamask and CTRL as browser wallets, as well as keystore files. Support for additional wallets is in progress.

We built this because most solutions either rely on wrapped assets or require trusting centralized bridges - both of which introduce risk. Many existing interfaces also charge high fees.

Would love feedback on the product, UI/UX, performance, security assumptions or anything else. Still early, but happy to answer questions and improve!

Thanks for checking it out

> How does NativeSwap work?

> NativeSwap currently operates using Thorchain and Mayachain protocols for cross-chain functionality. When you initiate a swap, you send your assets to a secure vault managed by these protocols. Assets are then exchanged directly for the native assets on the destination chain and sent to your address, all without the need for wrapped tokens or centralized bridges. This ensures a seamless, decentralized trading experience with complete control over your assets.

So it's just a wrapper around thorchain and mayachain? Why can't I use thorchain directly if I want to?

You're absolutely right. Technically, anyone with enough knowledge can interact directly with Thorchain or Mayachain. But in practice, doing so safely and efficiently is non-trivial. We've seen many cases where even technically capable users lost funds due to minor mistakes in transaction crafting.

NativeSwap is for general user or even for technical person if they want to ditch manual crafting in exchange of little fee. And that is the main motto of NativeSwap, making cross-chain exchange cost effective

That said, if you're comfortable working directly with the protocols, there are definitely alternatives available. Our focus is on making it cost-effective, easy and secure for general user.

I’ve got “You're absolutely right” PTSD from LLMs now

Can you tell me a bit about superlaun.ch?

It's a product launch platform helping products get more exposure and traffic.

I do not get the point of web3. All tokens and coins have an owner who can just withdraw all money and user lost money.

You have wrong understanding of web3.
