EOS and Ethereum (available on Coinbase) (ETH) Automated Token Conversion
The company originally announced its partnership and venture in September. The announcement just published a few hours ago reads:
“BancorX enables automated conversions between Ethereum (available on Coinbase)-based and EOS-based assets without users having to deposit funds on an exchange and without the need for order-matching between buyers and sellers. Anyone can integrate an Ethereum (available on Coinbase) or EOS token with BancorX by staking an amount of those tokens in a smart contract which they own and manage.”
BancorX currently supports a copious amount of Ethereum (available on Coinbase) ERC20 tokens and uses its own BTN token to make the cross-blockchain transfers.
First, either EOS or Ethereum (available on Coinbase) is converted into BTN. Then, the BancorX smart contract removes BNT from circulation and receives account information from the destination chain. Oracles watch the BancorX contract on the original crypto chain and report the BNT amount and destination wallet address to the BancorX contract on the destination chain.
The BancorX contract on the destination chain then issues BNT on its chain. The BNT token can then be converted into the desired coin through Relays on the Bancor Network.
The company also states that its cross-blockchain dApp was built in partnership with LiquidEOS.
