An atomic swap is a trustless operation that is an all-or-nothing transaction between two networks, two protocols, or two blockchains. An example of an atomic swap is a transfer of funds from the Bitcoin Lightning Network to the Litecoin Lightning Network. It either happens or nothing happens. It is called "atomic" because it cannot happen partially.
