Helix Cross-Chain

Problem Statement

Helix Cross-Chain : 1inch Fusion+ Cosmos Extension (Ethereum <-> Cosmos)🏆 EthGlobal Unite DeFi Hackathon SubmissionA novel extension for 1inch Cross-chain Swap (Fusion+) that enables trustless atomic swaps between Ethereum and Cosmos networks with hashlock/timelock functionality and bidirectional swap capabilities.🎯 Project OverviewThis project extends 1inch's Fusion+ technology to support cross-chain atomic swaps between Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems. It implements a complete solution with smart contracts, CosmWasm contracts, and a professional frontend interface.Key Features✅Trustless Atomic Swaps: No intermediaries required✅Hashlock/Timelock Security: Cryptographic guarantees with time-based refunds✅Bidirectional Swaps: Ethereum ↔ Cosmos in both directions✅1inch API Integration: Leveraging 1inch's powerful swap infrastructure✅Professional UI: Modern React interface with wallet integration✅Onchain Execution: Demonstrated on Sepolia and Theta testnets🏗️ ArchitectureGitHub Repository Structure for helix-bridge-flowRoot Directory Files:/ ├── README.md ├── .gitignore ├── todo.md/docs/folder:docs/ ├── 1inch Fusion+ Cosmos Extension.md ├── 1inch Fusion+ Cosmos Extension_ Technical Architecture.md ├── 1inch Fusion+ Cosmos Extension -
