Description:Atomic swaps using commit-reveal strategies would allow trading from RChain to bitcoin and ethereum without reliance on 3rd parties. They require only simple smart contract primitives (hashing and a crude clock); bitcoin and ethereum support them and building them in rholang should be straightforward.
Motivation/Impact/Importance: access to ETH and BTC markets from RChain
Completion/Success Criteria: demonstration of an atomic swap between RChain's testnet and an ethereum or bitcoin testnet.
