re: atomic swap system
itâs actually a two-way relay bridge that lets you transfer assets from ethereum to incognito and vice versa. when someone converts ETH to pETH (private ETH), they arenât swapping their asset with someone elseâs. instead, ETH is locked in a smart contract and new pETH is minted on incognito. When the pETH are burned (to maintain a 1:1 ratio), the locking contract on ethereum will verify the validity and unlock it upon submission of burn proof.
for example, you can convert 1000 âpublicâ DAI (on ethereum) to 1000 âprivate DAIâ pDAI (on incognito) via ethereum -> incognito relay. once you have 1000 pDAI, on the incognito chain, you can send 500 pDAI to alice privately, send 300 pDAI to bob privately, and then convert the remaining 200 pDAI back to âpublicâ DAI whenever you want via incognito -> ethereum relay.

re: support ZK transfers internally
yes, but not just that, incognito makes private transactions run fast too.
on the client side, incognito implements ZK proof generation for android and ios (so users can generate ZK proof under 15s right on their phone).
on the blockchain side, incognito implements a full-sharded architecture (based on to omniledger). currently on the testnet, incognito is running with 1 beacon chain and 8 shards (32 nodes per shard). we hope to scale it to 64 shards (with 100 nodes per shard) in november.
