Pantos is an innovative multi-Blockchain Token system created by the BitPanda exchange team. It is an open-source scientific research project, which aims to build a Token Atomic Swap Technology (TAST) for token transfers.

Through the conception of a new cross-chain transfer protocol, Pantos intends to bring all major blockchain platforms closer together. Bellow are a some of the differentiating features of the Pantos cross-chain protocol:

Cross-chain token transfers(not just SWAPS); Frictionless migration / transfer of the SAME asset from one blockchain to another; (Near) real-time arbitrage, which means more stability and less volatility; Research of open source technology as a joint academic effort; Development of a high quality, open source atomic swap / transfer protocol; Setting an industry standard with an innovative multi-blockchain token system; A Blockchain Domination Index to measure PAN distribution among blockchains.

Although 'PAN' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the Pantos Token's smart contract, it is already in use by another asset that has a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. Due to this pre-existing association and to avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'PANTOS' has been adopted for this token. This designation is specifically used to ensure that assets are distinctly identified.
