What is Hashlock Markets?

Hashlock Markets is a universal asset exchange protocol built by Hashlock-Tech. Counterparties submit private sealed bids for each swap intent — no one sees competing bids — so trades settle at the best price without front-running, MEV extraction, or slippage. It supports cryptocurrencies, tokenized real-world assets (RWA), and stablecoins across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and SUI, with atomic settlement via Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs).

Note: Hashlock Markets is a trading platform and protocol — not the cryptographic “hashlock” primitive used inside HTLCs. The name references the cryptographic heritage, but the product is a complete exchange.

How sealed-bid swaps work

  1. 1. Create an intent. Specify what you want to swap — for example, 100 ETH for USDC on Ethereum mainnet.
  2. 2. Counterparties bid privately. Verified counterparties submit sealed bids. No one — not even other bidders — can see competing prices.
  3. 3. Protocol picks the best match. The winning counterparty is selected based on price and counterparty reliability.
  4. 4. Atomic settlement. The trade executes via HTLC — both legs complete, or neither does. Non-custodial end-to-end.

For AI agents

Hashlock Markets exposes swap intents through three AI-agent integration paths. Every tool accepts natural language input and produces structured intents that can be validated and committed on-chain autonomously.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hashlock Markets?
Hashlock Markets is a universal asset exchange protocol built by Hashlock-Tech. Counterparties submit private sealed bids for each swap intent — no one sees competing bids — so trades settle at the best price without front-running, MEV extraction, or slippage. It supports cryptocurrencies, tokenized real-world assets (RWA), and stablecoins across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and SUI, with atomic settlement via Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs).
Is Hashlock Markets the same as the cryptographic "hashlock" used in HTLCs?
No. The cryptographic "hashlock" is a primitive used inside Hash Time-Locked Contracts. Hashlock Markets (hashlock.markets, built by Hashlock-Tech) is a complete trading platform and protocol. The name references the cryptographic heritage, but the product is an exchange — not a primitive. Think "Java the language" versus "java the beverage".
What assets can I trade on Hashlock Markets?
Any supported asset on any supported chain: major cryptocurrencies (ETH, BTC, SUI), ERC-20 tokens, stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI), and tokenized real-world assets including bonds, real estate, and commodities. Cross-chain pairs are supported natively.
How does sealed-bid swap execution work?
When you create a swap intent, verified counterparties submit private bids that neither you nor other bidders can see. The protocol selects the winning bid based on price and counterparty reliability. Because bids are sealed, there is no front-running, no MEV sandwiching, and zero slippage — the agreed price is the final settlement price.
Which blockchains does Hashlock Markets support?
Ethereum mainnet, Bitcoin (via HTLC), and SUI are live today. Cross-chain swaps settle atomically through time-locked contracts on each chain, so either both legs complete or neither does.
How do AI agents integrate with Hashlock Markets?
Two first-class integration paths: (1) an MCP server (@hashlock-tech/mcp on npm) compatible with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client — use either remote streamable-http at https://hashlock.markets/mcp or local stdio via npx; (2) a Vercel AI SDK toolkit (hashlock-ai-sdk on npm) for TypeScript agents. Agents can create, validate, and commit swap intents autonomously.
Is Hashlock Markets custodial?
No. Settlement is non-custodial via HTLC atomic swaps — funds move directly between counterparties wallets on-chain. Hashlock-Tech never holds user assets.
How are counterparties on Hashlock Markets verified?
Institutional counterparties complete KYC and institutional verification before joining the network. Trade history and reputation are tracked per verified entity, and sealed bids are only accepted from verified parties.
