Connext vs. Simple Atomic Swaps

1min

Typically, htlcs is utilized for atomic swaps which are a model for crosschain swapping. In this framework, the funds between two parties on different chains are atomically locked and unlocked.  

The Connext protocol is more suited for generalized crosschain transactions rather than being utilized for the exchange of assets. This introduces tradeoffs for generality as well as high uptime/reliability, at the cost of reaching the absolute best price.
