It is very useful to have a coinswap scheme requiring only two transactions. As well as improving the scalability of the system by saving block space, it also improves privacy because the coins could stay unspend for a long time, potentially indefinitely. While in the original coinswap proposal an analyst of the chain would always see a funding transaction followed closely in time by a success transaction, and this could be used as a fingerprint.

The original proposal uses absolute timelocks but there's no reason relative timelocks can't be used instead, as long as the party who starts with knowledge of the preimage has a timelock further away in the future. Using relative timelocks and private key handover for old-style coinswaps would give us the same two-transaction effect and the corresponding efficiency and privacy gains. Of course we still don't get the effect that the swap on the other side never expires. A fun fact is that the idea of private key handover was mentioned as early as 2016 in the original Lightning Network paper. The bottom of page 27 says: "Instead of disclosing the BR1a/BR1b signatures, it’s also possible to just disclose the private keys to the counterparty. This is more effective as described later in the key storage section". Although it looks like nobody thought to apply it to coinswap or realized the benefits. Regards CB
