A trustless, smart swap; an exchange without an exchange.

With the proliferation of cyptocurrencies in circulation today it’s inevitable that a user may need to exchange one cryptocurrency for another. We see this most commonly when a service provider may accept a limited number of currencies and in some cases we see a system only able to transact with its own currency. In these situations users often need to make an exchange from one currency to another; the exchange is not of a speculative nature but simply one of practicality.

To date, the most common way to exchange crypto for crypto is to buy and sell on an exchange. Exchanges may be centralized (such as Coinbase or Robinhood) or decentralized where transactions are conducted ‘peer-to-peer’. In the case of a centralized exchange, users must have a level of trust in the exchange, specifically given that these exchanges have been prone to attacks by bad actors or mismanagement of users’ assets. Further, every exchange transaction that is swapping one crypto for another incurs fees and spread across buy/sell prices, it’s not possible to be assured of a value:value swap between two cryptocurrencies. To date, even making an exchange like this has speculative attributes, EZ SmartSwap removed this characteristic from the swap.

The Element Zero Smart Swap functionality is a Peer-to-Community solution to this problem; providing users with an affordable, trustless way to exchange one cryptocurrency for another cryptocurrency without the need to surrender their coin to an exchange hot wallet or be concerned with market volatility to prevent losses. Furthermore, the users are guaranteed to have an exact face value to face value match, making a crypto-to-crypto swap precise, low risk and 100% fee-free. Users need not be concerned with opening accounts, loss of value due to volatility and with no spread or fees, it’s a clean and elegant solution to what until now, has been a something that has layers of complexity.

How It Works

Using the Element Zero SmartSwap, a user is able to exchange crypto-for-crypto without the risk, hassle or expense or volatility that exist on other cryptocurrency exchanges.

How It Works Today

Today, when a user needs to change one crypto for another, they must have an account on an exchange. In order to make their exchange they must accept the best price they can find from other traders. Further, if a coin changes in value, the exchange does not adjust the trade to accommodate this; users are constantly expose for a risk of losing in trades because of a market shift. Today users must watch the market to make sure that their trades are not impacted by fluctuations.
