THORChain proved native cross-chain swaps are possible. But Pact Swap @Pact_Swap, built on Coinweb @CoinwebOfficial, pushes the model further. Where THORChain routes every swap through RUNE based liquidity pools and a validator network, Pact Swap uses deterministic reactive smart contracts directly on the underlying L1s. Example: THORChain: BTC → RUNE → ETH Two pool hops, deeper dependency on pooled liquidity. PACT SWAP: BTC → ETH Single matched trade, secured by 200% collateral and automatic penalty enforcement if a counterparty fails. Why that matters: ✅ Less slippage on direct pairs ✅ No dependency on an intermediary asset ✅ Lower capital requirements ✅ Smart contract enforced settlement instead of validator coordination THORChain pioneered cross-chain UX. Pact Swap is refining the architecture for what comes next. #DeFi
