What Swap Market is

Swap Market is a fork of the Boltz web app, published as a static GitHub Pages site, that lets the user choose among several independent swap backends for atomic swaps between on-chain Bitcoin, Lightning, Liquid and Rootstock. The project readme says swaps are atomic, keys never leave the user's wallet, and the front end validates the invoices and addresses a backend supplies. There are no accounts; settings and swap history are kept only in the browser. The code is AGPL-3.0, can be self-hosted, and an onion mirror is published in the readme. No terms of service or identity requirement appear in the project documentation.
