I had heard about HTLCs mainly in relation to Lightning Network payments, but I never fully understood the mechanism. After reading through https://paybis.com/blog/glossary/hashed-...ract-htlc/ it finally clicked — funds only move if both parties meet conditions within a set time, making trustless swaps possible. It’s like an automatic escrow without a middleman. This unlocks cross-chain swaps and fast payments, which could be huge for adoption. Really cool tech and something I want to experiment with more in the future. Security plus automation is a powerful combo in crypto.
