Atomiq DeFi is a decentralized finance (DeFi) product suite built on the Mintlayer protocol. Our mission is to make Bitcoin DeFi accessible to all. Atomic Swaps will enable native Bitcoin interoperability, thus paving the way for DeFi on BTC without the need for wrapped tokens.
With Ethereum having been the dominant leader in the DeFi space, the time is now for Bitcoin DeFi to take over. With the help of Mintlayer Atomic Swaps, Atomiq DeFi will unlock Bitcoin’s true potential and allow users to achieve more with their native Bitcoin. The Atomiq Suite of dApps will provide a simple platform and UI for users to interact with DeFi on Bitcoin.
$ATMQ is the native token in Atomiq’s ecosystem offering the following key utilities:
Staking: Allows for priority access & allocation to token sales on the launchpad. Also, acts an an insurance policy preventing any false allocation requests that don’t get fulfilled.
The $ATMQ Token can also be used to purchase tokens of new project listings on the launchpad.
Staking Functionality will also be a part of our DEX, where users who built a strong score as a result of staking will get access to better fees and priority transaction ordering.
$ATMQ token holders can shape the future of the Bitcoin ecosystem by participating in governance of the Atomiq DeFi platform.
Together with Mintlayer Atomiq DeFi is opening the door for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Mintlayer is developing a platform that allows institutions with a template to deploy tokenized RWA and assist with built in compliance services. The Atomiq DEX will provide the settlement layer for RWAs to be swapped directly with the Bitcoin network.

Q1 2024
Atomiq DeFi is founded with a $1.5M grant from Mintlayer Ecosystem Fund.
Q2 2024
Q3 2024
Q4 2024
V1 of the Atomiq DEX will go live, enabling swaps between Stablecoins, ML, & MLS tokens
Q1 2025
V2 of the DEX will be launched, enabling Bitcoin cross-chain atomic swaps
The $ATMQ Token generation event will be in late Q2. Stay tuned for exact dates and details coming soon.
We are currently in the final stages of negotiations with various tier 1 launchpads and are also in discussion with a number of centralized exchanges for $ATMQ to be listed on. Once finalized, we will make the announcements across all our channels.
Initially, you will be able to purchase $ATMQ through the launchpads. After the launchpads, we will list on top centralized exchanges, where you will also be able to buy $ATOMIQ. We are in the final stages of discussion with Launchpad and exchanges and will make the announcements once finalized.
Atomic swaps, often described as the “holy grail” of interoperability in the world of blockchain, are a type of smart contract technology that enables the exchange of cryptocurrencies on different blockchains without using wrapped tokens.
An atomic swap involves creating a Hashed Time Lock Contract (HTLC), a type of smart contract that ensures an all-or-nothing simultaneous transfer of assets. In essence, either both parties successfully exchange their crypto, or the transaction doesn’t take place at all.
Atomiq DeFi is developing a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) for atomic swaps, which will enable you to swap native Bitcoin for stablecoins or any MLS-based token on the Mintlayer network.

We wanted to be a part of unlocking Bitcoin DeFi to the masses. However, we saw that the only current options for accomplishing DeFi on Bitcoin were either building on layer 1 with protocols like Ordinals, which congested the Bitcoin network and had limited functionality, or accessing DeFi through the use of some kind of wrapped form of Bitcoin, which introduced more counterparty risk to the user. Then we found out about the Mintlayer protocol that used a separate layer 2 sidechain it eliminated congestion issues that plagued layer 1 protocols, and with their Atomic Swaps technology, they eliminated the need and risks associated with wrapped tokens. On top of this, the protocol is built from the ground up using Rust for node development, with extensive testing and a primary focus on security and reliability.
Because of these factors, we see Mintlayer as the best new protocol to build on in the current Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
Atomiq DeFi initially received $1.5 million from the Mintlayer Ecosystem fund, which not only helped with funding but also incubated and continues to guide Atomiq DeFi to success.
Currently, the company is about to close a $3 million seed round and has already secured its led investor, X21 digital. Many other notable venture capital firms are joining the round, such as AlphaBit Fund, NXGen, Dutch Crypto Investors (DCI Capital), Spicy Capital, and Altcoin Buzz.
The Mintlayer Ecosystem Fund consists of an incubator, an accelerator, and a grant initiative. It seeks to help build the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem by funding and nurturing concepts to fruition and accelerating the growth of larger projects.
What makes Atomiq DeFi unique is that it is the first to build a suite of dApps powered by Mintlayer Atomic swaps. These Atomic swaps are unique in the space because they allow direct Bitcoin use within dApps without the need for wrapped tokens or centralized intermediaries. Most other current projects either build on layer 1 or use layer 2 but use DeFi through wrapped, pegged, or federated tokens.
