In this paper, we present VERTEX, a TEE-based layer-2 solution that tackles two crucial challenges in the realm of cryptocurrencies: off-chain payments and cross-chain swaps. It offers three notable features: - Channel-free off-chain payments: it allows a payer to make direct payments to anyone without requiring any on-chain relationship or intermediary channels. - Real-time yet decentralized cross-chain swaps: it is the first known solution that enables real-time cross-chain swaps without relying on a central server. This novel feature is made possible through a ground-breaking fair exchange protocol. - TEE crash-tolerance: it offers two solutions to handle TEE crashes, one of which involves an innovative application of time-lock puzzles in this context. We evaluate ECHO on a network consists of 1000 nodes and the evaluation results show that ECHO can achieve 7000 TPS |
