About this episode
Toby Gilbert is a Co-Founder at PACT Swap, a cross-chain DEX built on Coinweb. Pact Swap enables trading of native Bitcoin, TRON, and other assets across incompatible chains - without bridges, wrapped tokens, or external validators.
Why you should listen
PactSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Coinweb PACT framework that enables cross-chain swaps of digital assets without using traditional bridges or wrapped tokens. It's designed to let users trade native assets directly across multiple blockchains in a decentralized, non-custodial environment.
The platform supports trading between major chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Litecoin, TRON, Dogecoin, and Polygon. Its system uses collateralized reactive smart contracts to coordinate trades across otherwise incompatible blockchains. This approach allows PactSwap to execute bridgeless cross-chain swaps efficiently, aiming for high capital efficiency and lower transaction fees than conventional cross-chain bridges.
The goal of PactSwap is to combine the liquidity and trading depth of centralized exchanges with the transparency and security of decentralized finance. By removing the need for wrapped tokens and third-party bridges, PactSwap aims to reduce costs and risks for users, offering faster and more secure asset swaps with up to 95% lower fees compared to older cross-chain solutions.
