Why is Bitswift.cash called a gateway?

In computer networking a gateway is a component that is part of two networks, which use different protocols. The gateway will translate one protocol into the other.

For example, a gateways allows computers within a local network (LAN) to send and receive data over the Internet (WAN). 

On Bitswift.cash, different blockchain networks are accessible and the data on one may transverse to the other and vice versa. In this regard the Bitswift.cash platform provides blockchain gateway services where users may send their data from one blockchain network to another where both networks are operating on different protocols.
