Grandma-Friendly Atomic Swaps

Built on the Komodo Platform's BarterDEX network, HyperDEX is entirely peer-to-peer and all trades are made via on-chain atomic swaps. As a result, you are in full custody of your funds the entire time, your private keys never leave your machine.

There is a risk of loss of funds. Only trade in real currency if you can take that risk. We recommend trading the test currencies RICK and MORTY instead. You can get free RICK here and free MORTY here.

HyperDEX is only a GUI layer on top of the marketmaker daemon which connects to the Komodo Platform's BarterDEX network. marketmaker is an independent project.

marketmaker is currently in the prototype stage and as a result can be quite buggy and unreliable, which will affect HyperDEX usage.

There are some known marketmaker issues:

• Order matching doesn't always succeed.
• Trades can sometimes get stuck.
• Poor single threaded performance. (makes the GUI appear laggy)
• Trades don't always cancel.

There is a rewrite of marketmaker in progress which we are expecting to resolve many of these issues.

Your actions and addresses are broadcast in plain text. Do not use HyperDEX on a public network other than for testing.

Encrypted communication is planned for our first stable release.

This means there is an element of trust involved. It's technically possible for a malicious electrum server operator to double spend and therefore reverse swaps.

We are planning to add an option to connect to your own trusted electrum server.

For many currencies 1 confirmation is cost effective to 51% attack. This would allow an attacker to double spend and effectively reverse trades.

We are planning to add an option to specify the number of confirmations your are comfortable with per currency.

macOS 10.10+, Linux, and Windows 7+ are supported (64-bit only).
