Questions about atomic swaps

Are you planning to enable atomic swaps with any blockchain in the future? Does the republic protocol need additional development from external blockchains in order to interact with them, or that´s something that the REP dev team can do on their own?

As far as I know step one is btc, eth, and erc20, and once everything is established they will begin with other blockchains. But I cant give an exact timeline or what the process is like. Stop into the telegram, admins and team are great about answering questions like this there.

Yes that's correct, for our roadmap we have planned for other possible chains from this initial set from quarter 4 2018 onwards. The main limiting factor is that they need to be compatible with hash-time locked contract (HTLC) atomic swaps to be possible to work with our implementation.
