Seriously I did research for a week on building a Bitcoin AMM right now. It only makes sense in liquid. Liquid is the only way to do it permissionlessly and with self custody. Everything else is just not developed enough or custodial/permissions.
Ark. Way to early and probably not even really possible.
Tapass... That's LND... Not a bolt.
Runes/brc20/ordinals is a joke
Ecash is custodial...
A week of looking for alternatives to liquid, speccing the potential architectures, on and on.
If someone can recommend something else I'm all ears.
No one wants to build on anything they don't know if it'll be here in 10 years. I believe liquid will be. So will lightning but until assets can be specified in an actual bolt, that's a no go for anything other than regular lightning stuff.

sideswap has done some interesting work on this front
Sideawap is a good swap. But I want an AMM with pooling. XAUT and Bitcoin in a pool together. Somewhere to dump some Bitcoin into liquidity and earn passive yield from swaps in a permissionless market where I can still hold my own keys and I still own the underlying Bitcoin in the pool.
