The first limitation that atomic swaps face in its current iteration is that three conditions need to be met for two cryptocurrencies to engage in atomic swaps.
- The cryptocurrencies must have a hash algorithm which is inherent to both of them
- Both the cryptos must be capable of initiating hashed timelock contracts
- Must have specialized programming functionalities.
Does Tron have the same hashing algorithm as Steem? :D
Silly DPOS chains.
"Inherent to both of them" does not refer to the hashing algorithm in mining.
It simply means that the same hash lock algorithm needs to be used as a smart contract controlling the contract addresses on both chains.
