The cross-chain synchronization feature of ATS is not specified. If the approach is to use a hashed time-locked contract then counterparty exists.
Economic incentive helps to ensure that:
Sender locks up token on sending chain
Receiver accepts token on receiving chain
However other outcomes are possible, resulting in unstable total supply or unsynchronized total supply.
Even though ATS says that cross-chain transactions are out of scope of the specification, the requirements it places on cross-chain transactions make them impossible when working with existing cross-chain technology.
