Working alongside other chains
Dznye is its own chain, and it fits in with the others. Your Dznye key is already a Solana account, your @name can point to your addresses elsewhere, and you can swap with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana using hash locks, with no bridge and nobody holding the coins. See one account, every chain and swap with other chains.
