Atomic Swaps +3 +8
An atomic swap is a way for two people to directly exchange cryptocurrencies from different blockchains without needing a middleman like a centralized exchange. It’s called “atomic” because the swap either happens completely or not at all - there’s no partial or failed trade where one side loses out.

Uses hodl invoices 0 +5
A hodl invoice on the Lightning Network temporarily holds your payment, similar to escrow. The receiver doesn’t get the funds immediately; instead, the payment is locked until specific conditions are met. Once those conditions are fulfilled, the receiver releases the funds by supplying a cryptographic key. This method is useful for secure transactions or deposits.

Comments
It’s super user-friendly and respects your privacy since there’s no need for accounts or KYC.
Best service for BTC Onchain, LN and Liquid. I use it often for swaps between my Wallets.
This service is great - it’s cheap, fast and private
but sadly, it requires JavaScript to be enabled even for this simple website
you can self host it though
