Cross-Chain API

How to Aggregate Cross Chain Liquidity?

The problem of swapping assets among multiple blockchains is a problem of liquidity. It is necessary to lock and mint, burn and release assets among multiple platforms, as these are usually wrapped tokens that are used to transfer value among blockchains.

This project will create a CrossChain API MVP that allows:

• Liquidity Providers (LPs) - that have tokens in Ethereum & BSC to add liquidity in Harmony DEXs using a single API
• Swappers - to move their tokens from/to Ethereum and BSC using a single API

The expected deliverables are

• Following 4 APIs:
• LP-Explore
• LP-AddLiquidity
• LP-RemoveLiquidity
• Swapper-Explore
• Swapper-Swap
• A client (web-based) that utilizes the aforementioned crosschain apis to explore and perform crosschain activities like adding/removing liquidity, swapping tokens to/from BSC and Ethereum. Work on this client has already started.

Milestones

All functionality is being developed in Production mode, where the API takes hashes of signed transactions, and Development mode, where the server is run locally and the API takes the PK.
