AtomicDEX Web Released

We reached a major milestone: AtomicDEX is now available as a web application. AtomicDEX Web is the crypto market's first native P2P DEX that works in a web browser. It’s accessible on any web browser, device, or OS.

Product Updates

AtomicDEX Web (Alpha)

We finally released the much-anticipated web version of AtomicDEX. A lot of work and love went into its development, and we are already working on the next patch with new features:

  • Fiat gateway support
  • HD wallet support
  • Layout Improvements

In 2023, we plan to collect more feedback from users to plan the next iterations of this product.

AtomicDEX Web now supports more than 500 crypto assets across dozens of protocols. The web app can be accessed through any web browser or any device. We took care when designing the UI layout with desktop, tablet, and mobile users all in mind.

AtomicDEX API

The features we develop for the AtomicDEX API will pave the way for more advanced GUI features down the road. Here’s what we worked on during Q4:

  • Atomic swaps on Lightning protocol moved from proof-of-concept to a more solid stage on the AtomicDEX API protocol side. In 2023, we’ll start integrating Lightning protocol into our GUIs.
  • Tendermint/Cosmos integration has been maturing since the original announcement we made in Q3. This means the AtomicDEX API — and later all three GUIs — will support cross-chain trading natively between the Cosmos ecosystem assets and numerous other assets across other blockchain ecosystems.
  • The Hierarchical deterministic (HD) accounts feature is now complete. Once the feature is implemented on the GUI level, you will be able to generate an infinite amount of new deposit addresses in a single wallet for each of your coins.
  • We are working on swap watchers functionality, which will increase protocol security for taker orders. By design, if a timelock is expired on payment, and the taker went offline (didn’t claim the payment in time), the maker can claim this payment. Swap watchers will monitor swaps for such opportunities, claim these payments, and send refunds automatically to takers.
  • We worked on the integration of MetaMask. A proof-of-concept for the AtomicDEX API is ready. This integration will allow users to log in from a MetaMask wallet and send/receive/trade crypto assets on AtomicDEX.

AtomicDEX Mobile

In December, we released AtomicDEX Mobile v0.6.0. This release marked a major milestone for two reasons.

  • First, Google Play approved AtomicDEX Mobile for global public listing. Android users around the world can now easily discover AtomicDEX Mobile.
  • Second, AtomicDEX Mobile integrated dozens of new protocols and added support for hundreds of assets. Starting with the AtomicDEX Mobile v0.6.0 release, all crypto assets are synced together with AtomicDEX Desktop. This means you can seamlessly hold, bridge, and trade the same crypto assets on both GUIs.

AtomicDEX Desktop

In November, we released AtomicDEX Desktop v0.5.7, which included 47 new asset listings and two blockchain protocol integrations.

  • Pirate Chain (ARRR) Integration — After successfully demonstrating the first KMD/ARRR DEX trade in 2021, our development team made several improvements to ARRRtomic swap technology. Now shielded cross-chain P2P atomic swaps directly on AtomicDEX Desktop! This technology is dubbed 'ARRRtomic swaps' in honor of Pirate Chain (ARRR). Our team will work to integrate ARRRtomic swaps into AtomicDEX Web and AtomicDEX Mobile in 2023.
  • Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP) integration — In 2021, our team successfully raised funds in the AtomicDEX SLP Flipstarter campaign. Thanks to the generous support of the Bitcoin Cash community, AtomicDEX is now the first cross-chain/protocol decentralized exchange for the SLP token standard. SLP support is available on AtomicDEX Desktop, AtomicDEX Web, and AtomicDEX Mobile (as of the v0.6.0 release).
AtomicDEX Desktop v0.5.7 is live.

Komodo Core

The Komodo Core development team has been hard at work porting Zebra — a Zcash node written in Rust — to the Komodo blockchain consensus rules.

Zebra (provides numerous benefits over the original Zcash node, including better performance, better security, better governance, runtime safety, and specification safety,

Most of the consensus rules are already implemented on the Komodo blockchain, and we plan to finish this work in the first part of 2023. The porting of Zebra to Komodo is an important step to ensuring that the Komodo network remains a technological leader in the blockchain space.
