Cryptix Atomic Swaps

Atomic Swaps are the Cryptix Layer-1 liquidity bridge for Atomic Tokens. They allow tokens to be created with immediate CPAY trading through a native DEX model, without smart contracts and without a separate Layer-2 system.

Everything is designed to be usable from the Web Wallet, but the system is not locked to the Web Wallet. Users, builders and platforms can self-host locally and still access the full DEX program through native Layer-1 rules.

Bridge Mode

When bridge mode is selected at token creation, the token receives a deterministic CPAY liquidity curve. Users can buy and sell against the CPAY reserve directly. There is no order book and no smart-contract pool contract: the bridge behavior is validated natively by the Cryptix network.

• Instant CPAY trading after token creation.
• Native Layer-1 DEX behavior, not a smart-contract DEX.
• Buy and sell with CPAY directly from compatible wallets.
• Token creation remains click-based and user-friendly.
• Local hosting remains possible for full self-control.

Atomic Swap Token Supply

For liquidated tokens, also called Atomic Swap Tokens, the max supply can be selected in a fixed range. Decimals are intentionally disabled for this mode to keep deterministic handling simple and less error-prone.

• Minimum max supply: 100,000 tokens.
• Recommended default: 1,000,000 tokens.
• Maximum max supply: 10,000,000 tokens.
• Decimals: 0.

Choose 100,000 for fewer tokens and a higher value per token. Choose 10,000,000 for a larger community or meme-token supply. Choose 1,000,000 for a balanced, tradable default.

The curve adapts to the selected max supply. Economically, the bridge behaves the same for 100k, 1M or 10M max supply; only the number of token units changes.

Fast Trade Technology

Atomic Swaps use a mempool-based trading layer with parent-built transactions. When a swap is submitted, the transaction can be prevalidated by the mempool and immediately become visible as a pending trade. Instead of waiting for this trade to be included in a block, the wallet can already use its expected output as a pending parent and build the next transaction on top of it. This allows users to react and continue trading before final block confirmation. Planned owner nonces, asset nonces, and pool nonces keep these parent-child transaction chains ordered and deterministic, so pending trades can be handled safely without treating them as final state. Final settlement still happens through L1 consensus. The mempool layer only provides fast trade availability, while confirmed balances, pool reserves, and trade history are finalized through blocks and Atomic state verification. This makes trades possible within 50–150 ms.

Liquidity Curve

The Atomic Swap curve starts relatively smooth and stays close to the actual CPAY liquidity. As more of the token supply is bought, the curve becomes more aggressive. Near the upper supply range it becomes very aggressive, while avoiding an extreme leverage effect. Early buyers still receive the strongest position.

During token creation, the creator can choose how the bridge curve is configured:

• Basic mode: 2,500,000 virtual CPAY and 1.20x virtual token reserve.
• Aggressive mode: 2,000,000 virtual CPAY and 1.05x virtual token reserve.
• Free mode: custom values from 1,000,000 to 8,000,000 virtual CPAY and 1.01x to 1.50x virtual token reserve.

Basic mode is smoother and more conservative. Aggressive mode starts close to Basic but rises much harder when a large share of the supply has already been bought. Free mode is for creators who want to define their own bridge behavior inside the allowed parameter range.

Curve Values

Example values for a 1,000,000 max supply token, without fees:

A 1,000,000 max supply Atomic Swap token can absorb roughly 12.5 million CPAY in Basic mode and roughly 40 million CPAY in Aggressive mode through the bridge curve. Free mode depends on the creator's selected parameters. This is real CPAY liquidity absorbed by the curve; it is not the token price and not the token market cap.

ICO-Style Launches

Atomic Swaps can be used for native ICO-like launches. The creator can buy at the earliest curve position during creation, because price rises with each CPAY invested. Buyers can then participate through the same deterministic Layer-1 bridge instead of depending on a manually managed pool.

• The creator does not control the bridge liquidity.
• The creator only controls tokens they personally purchased.
• Trading fees can still create incentives for creators or platforms.
• Immediate liquidity draining at launch can be restricted with Lock Gate.

Lock Gate

Lock Gate is an optional rug-pull friction layer for Atomic Swap launches. If enabled, the creator defines a fixed CPAY liquidity threshold that must be reached once before selling becomes unlocked. For example, a token can require 1,000,000 CPAY in bridge liquidity before sells are allowed.

This does not provide 100% protection. It makes common launch scams less efficient by forcing a minimum real CPAY liquidity level before exits become possible.

• Optional at token creation.
• Highly visible as a trust signal for users.
• Can reduce instant creator sell-offs after the first external buyer.
• Can make bot dump strategies harder or unprofitable.
• Designed as friction, not as a guarantee.

Anti-Bot Direction

The Basic curve already acts as a soft anti-bot mechanism because it starts very flat. Early buys do not immediately push the curve into a vertical price zone, which makes simple launch sniping less attractive and gives human users a fairer entry window.

An additional anti-bot layer is planned for the Web Wallet. This can add friction for automated wallet usage, but it cannot fully block bots because the bridge is decentralized and can be accessed directly through RPC and custom nodes.

Lock Gate can also be used to make some bot strategies unattractive. Tokens can require liquidity thresholds that prevent early exit behavior until the threshold is reached. Clear warnings and metadata signals can protect human users, while bots that ignore those signals take the risk.

Why This Is Different

Atomic Swaps bring DEX-like behavior into native Layer 1. The advantage is not only easier UX, but a smaller trust surface: no smart contract pool, no external contract owner, no separate execution environment and no requirement to use a central website.

• No smart contracts for the bridge logic.
• Native Layer-1 validation by the Cryptix network.
• Web Wallet access for normal users.
• Local self-hosting for independent access.
• Tokens can be created by click and become instantly tradable through the native DEX bridge.

Risk Note

The curve is designed to work with current CPAY values and possible future CPAY value changes. CPAY may be worth less or more in the future. This is not a price promise. Token markets remain volatile, and Lock Gate does not remove all risk.

Mathematical Curve Reference

The bridge uses a constant-product curve with virtual reserves. For max supply S, Basic, Aggressive and Free mode only change the initial reserve values.

x * y = k

x = virtual CPAY reserve
y = virtual token reserve
k = x * y

Initial state for max supply S:

Basic mode:
x0 = 2,500,000 CPAY
y0 = 1.20 * S
k = x0 * y0

Aggressive mode:
x0 = 2,000,000 CPAY
y0 = 1.05 * S
k = x0 * y0

Free mode:
x0 = 1,000,000-8,000,000 CPAY
y0 = 1.01-1.50 * S
k = x0 * y0

Cumulative buy curve without fee:

CPAY(q) = x0 * q / (y0 - q)

As supply share p = q / S and y0 = m * S:

Basic:      CPAY(p) = 2,500,000 * p / (1.20 - p)
Aggressive: CPAY(p) = 2,000,000 * p / (1.05 - p)
Free:       CPAY(p) = custom_x0 * p / (custom_m - p)

Exact buy formula per trade with net Delta x CPAY:

x' = x + Delta x
y' = ceil(k / x')
token_out = y - y'

With fee:

fee = floor(gross_in * fee_bps / 10000)
Delta x = gross_in - fee

Exact sell formula per trade with Delta y tokens:

y' = y + Delta y
x' = floor(k / y')
gross_cpay_out = x - x'

With fee:

fee = floor(gross_cpay_out * fee_bps / 10000)
cpay_out = gross_cpay_out - fee
