Atomic swaps are all the rage among cryptocurrencies right now, by the looks of things. After a successful swap between Litecoin and Decred, we have seen similar projects focus on Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Amid all of this is Viacoin, an altcoin which also wants to get involved in cross-chain atomic swaps. A new feature has been introduced as part of its Clearinghouse tool to help make this become a reality.

Contrary to what most people think, the purpose of Viacoin is not necessarily to be part of an atomic swap itself. It is certainly possible we will see Viacoin-to-other-altcoin swaps in the near future, but for now, that is not necessarily the team’s objective.

Instead, the developers are expanding the Clearinghouse functionality in such a way that it can be used as a “spill” in the world of cross-chain swaps.
