Well, I suppose it depends on how you define competition.
In terms of a platform offering decentralized atomic swaps, Swaps.org may currently be unique in the space. However, the field of decentralized exchanges is rapidly evolving, and there may be other platforms in development that offer similar functionality.
It's also important to consider that decentralized exchanges and atomic swap technology are still in their early stages of development, and may not be as widely adopted as centralized exchanges. As such, the "competition" may be less about direct competitors and more about gaining market share and mindshare in the broader world of crypto.
I think the broader picture is that the cryptocurrency market is still relatively young and rapidly evolving. As new technologies and platforms emerge, there will be constant changes and shifts in the competitive landscape. The important thing is for projects like Swaps.org to stay ahead of the curve and continue to innovate, so they can capture a larger share of the market and bring decentralized atomic swaps to the mainstream. 👍
True. I like to look at it this way:
Pancakeswap is the decentralized go-to for BEP-20 coins
Uniswap is the decentralized go-to for ERC-20 coins
What is the decentralized go-to for cross-chain? Not sure I can name any. For the centralized counterpart, there are several exchanges that can act as competitons though.
With the pace at which the crypto market is growing, I agree with you wholeheartedly and would be surprised if Swaps is the only team working on this.
Before our eyes, we saw Digicash (for some of us old folks), a moment of silence, and then Bitcoin and all these.
