Hey, everyone. I'm excited to share with you my conversation with Simon Harman, founder and CEO at ChainFlip. Chain Flip is building a cross-chain decentralized exchange using just-in-time liquidity to facilitate native cross-chain swaps. The chain flip protocol maximizes capital efficiency to enable trades at an extremely competitive price with low slippage through their decentralized and permissionless network. Their mission is to displace centralized exchanges by creating a user-friendly capital-efficient environment to swap isolated assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, DOT, Solana, and more.
Chain Flip has made vital improvements to the original Cross-Chain Liquidity Protocol Thorchain and has managed to secure backing from high-profile pieces like Blockchain Capital Framework, Pantera, Coinbase Ventures, Delphi, Digital, RFID, and many more. The protocol is already live on Testnet and will release on MainNet sometime later this summer. So with that in mind, here is my conversation with Simon Harmon from ChainFlip.
