This is such a useless token.
Atomic Swaps negate all of this and removes the need of a third party such as MTN which is nothing more than an advanced tracker across multiple blockchains negating privacy.
It sounds like there is misunderstanding of Metronome here.
Metronome is the
opposite of a swap: There is no asset exchange, thus no exchange rate difference, thus no exchange rate risk or volatility risk.
If you swap BTC/ETH, then you risk BTC price changing or ETH price changing. Volatility risk + exchange rate risk.
With Metronome, the MTN asset
moves to a new blockchain, but keeps the same asset (and same asset price).
Analogy:
A1) Metronome is like a gold bar. Moving Metronome from blockchain ETH to blockchain ETC is like moving a gold bar from one warehouse to another warehouse. It's still gold, just different warehouse.
A2) A swap is like exchanging a gold bar for a silver bar, with guards watching the exchange to be sure it is safe and honest.
Swaps are very different from what Metronome does.
