what's atomiq labs?
Atomiq Labs is a cryptocurrency project developing infrastructure for secure cross-chain swaps, leveraging Bitcoin's Proof of Work (PoW) consensus to ensure trustless and decentralized transactions without relying on validators, multisigs, or wrapped assets. The core innovation addresses limitations in traditional bridges by enabling native swaps between Bitcoin and other blockchains, maintaining Bitcoin's security model for settlement and verification. This approach aims to enhance interoperability in the Bitcoin ecosystem, supporting applications like BTCFi on platforms such as Starknet. Through initiatives like the Citrea testnet, Atomiq Labs facilitates user testing and feedback to refine their protocol, emphasizing decentralization along a spectrum of trade-offs while avoiding centralized control points like admin keys.
