In Layer Zero, this functionality is integrated into the Endpoint contract. | | Logic Contract | Deployed on all networks | Deployed on all networks | Only on One Chain | Contains the business logic for validating and executing cross-chain transfers. | | Registry Contract | Deployed on all networks | Deployed on all networks | Only on One Chain | Maintains the overall registry of the assets. | | Signer Contract | Deployed on all networks | Deployed on all networks | Only on One Chain | Has the ability to MPC or Governance signing. | ### X-Talk Swap X-Talk Swap leverages the X-Talk Technology which includes the Source Chain Registration on X-Talk Node, X-Talk Contracts and Signing Flow. Below is the technical level flow of X-Talk.

X-Talk Flow

The Characteristics of X-Talk Swap are * Provides the deployer with an end to end ownership of token. * Provides Integrated Oracle System to swap tokens across systems implemented directly through contracts.
