Open your wallet, pick a pair, and trade directly on Bitcoin—no detours through bridges or custodians. Connect a native Bitcoin wallet that supports PSBT signing, select an asset pair, and Saturn prepares an on-chain swap using Arch Network’s virtual machine. You choose the amount, slippage tolerance, and miner fee priority; Saturn shows the expected output and network costs before you sign. Confirm the PSBT, broadcast, and watch confirmations in your mempool tracker. Because everything settles on Layer 1, finality follows standard Bitcoin block times. If the mempool is busy, bump fees via RBF or wait it out—your funds never leave your keys. It’s a straightforward workflow: sign, broadcast, settle, all without wrapped tokens.
To earn fees, add liquidity. From Pools, pick a market, review volume and depth, then choose how much of each asset to deposit. Saturn mints a position for your share of the pool, and trading activity accrues fees proportionally. Manage risk by setting slippage on deposits, splitting entries across transactions, or withdrawing gradually. Impermanent loss is surfaced so you can decide when to rebalance. When you exit, use Remove Liquidity to redeem your share; Saturn builds the PSBT, you sign, and coins return to your wallet. No staking lockups or custodial claims—just UTXOs you control.
Peer-to-peer swaps are just as direct. Create an atomic swap with a counterparty by sharing a session link or QR. Saturn coordinates an HTLC-style flow through Arch Network verifier nodes so either both sides complete or both refund after a timeout. Set terms (assets, amounts, expiry, fee policy), preview the on-chain script path, and sign your side. Your partner signs theirs, verifiers check proofs, and completion occurs automatically when the secret is revealed. If anything stalls, the refund path unlocks on schedule. This is ideal for OTC deals, treasury moves, or switching exposure without centralized desks.
Builders can automate all of the above. Compose pools, conditional swaps, or vault-like flows with Saturn’s primitives on Arch Network’s VM, then trigger them from your app via PSBTs. Typical steps: write and test a contract, deploy, generate client bindings, and integrate wallet prompts so users sign locally. Verifier nodes emit execution proofs your backend can watch for state updates and confirmations. Build bots to rebalance liquidity, quote swaps from order flow, or route across pools—always settling on Bitcoin. With Layer 1 custody preserved, operations are auditable, and users maintain key control.
