Introducing CryptoAnchor.io
About
CryptoAnchor.io is a stellar anchor API for crypto-currencies. It currently supports BTC and LTC. We're planning to add more crypto currencies pretty soon.
CryptoAnchor is API only, because its only purpose is to be integrated into other stellar applications (wallet, exchanges, ...).
CryptoAnchor currently powers deposits and withdrawals of BTC and LTC on https://interstellar.exchange. We hope others find it useful enough to include in their own stellar applications.
We included API to list coins we support, crypto deposit, crypto deposit history, crypto withdraw and crypto withdrawal history.
Segwit Support
CryptoAnchor's BTC and LTC anchor service supports segwit. This leads to cheaper and faster BTC and LTC transfers in and out of the stellar network.
Here's the cool part
Each crypto currency we support is powered by tech we internally call Warp Drive.
Each Warp Drive in our infrastructure is designed to be independent, expandable, scalable and reliable.
We've already built all this infrastructure, so you don't have to. This will save you a lot of time, money and headaches (trust me on this).
Here's the even cooler part.
Our Warp Drive tech can be used to fund accounts with other cryptos! That's right.
You don't need to have XLM, or trust our assets to use CryptoAnchor.io.
We automatically give you 6.5 XLM if your account is unfunded, and deduct from your (BTC or LTC) deposit at market price. As soon as you trust our assets, we transfer your remaining (BTC or LTC) funds to you. You can use those remaining funds to trade for even more XLM in the SDEX.
We believe this single feature alone will make it easier for other crypto enthusiasts to quickly get started with Stellar.
Hope this helps you in your app, just like it has helped us enormously with https://interstellar.exchange.
