That service is actually very new. I only found out about that from a friend who trades Runes and Ordinals a few days ago.

I see, although WHOIS data shows the domain registered since last year.

The may have started building another kind of Bitcoin service before making their pivot to become a swapping service for Runes.

Runes was released during April 20, this year. Ordinals was "invented" during January, 2023. It was probably an Ordinals service before becoming a Runes service.


what makes you say the swap is trustless when i didn't mention about it on their website?


Their X account posted it in its profile. BUT you're right and I removed "Trustless" from the topic's title. I did some DYOR  and tried to swap a very small amount of Bitcoin, but I saw that the service is NOT non-custodial. The users need to deposit some Bitcoin to a wallet called a "trading account", a custodial account. That's a big disappointment if you ask me.

Thanks for the cynicism, that made me look further. 👍

Not surprising they're not being honest about trustless (or decentralization in other cases).


I asked my friend.

Swapping requires the user to deposit, but liquidity provision is non-custodial. The Liquidity Pool is open for all, but the service itself for swaps is not.

How many people actually use this website? I just visited it and found out the top token only have $894.69 as 30d volume. Besides, what makes you say the swap is trustless when i didn't mention about it on their website?

Their existence might be very questionable right now, but when those investors/traders start to use Saturn and other on-chain swap services for Runes/Ordinals, then we should probably expect transactions fees to surge. Currently, Runes/Ordinals users buy/sell their Runes/Ordinals in MagicEden and OKX.com, but it makes "trading" them cumbersome in those services.

For my fellow plebs who simply can't HODL their precious Bitcoins, and for them to satiate their need to gamble on shitcoins. If you want to "trade" then you must "trade". BUT, there's no need to convert your Bitcoins to another coin for another blockchain. In Saturn, you could trustlessly swap Runes - the shitcoin protocol built by Casey Rodarmor on top of the best blockchain in the world, Bitcoin.
