Going to give a *sneak peak* about this paper w/ @ksk and others to FC before Twitter! There's been a surge of interest in intent-based systems like @uniswapX or CoW Swap — their claim has been to help improve the acquisition of off-chain price data on-chain But do they work?

Would like to know how solvers incur congestion fees due to the lack of inventory, even before they secure the exclusive rights to the orderflow by winning the auction. Don’t they merely simulate the execution such that congestion fees don’t price in?

In a fully permissionless intent system (so nothing that is live right now) where they are slashed if they don't deliver on the intent within some time period, they have to procure _some_ inventory to avoid getting slashed. The real problem is that if they all do this simultaneously they get worse prices

I wonder if there could be something like a user-specified slashing rate per-intent, where if the solver fails to execute but returns funds they are slashed according to how long it took them? Perhaps that way there's less contention, as the solver might risk accepting an intent without first procuring inventory? 🤔

I guess if this rate is too high, the risk is still too high for the solver and we're back to risk of contention, but if it's too low, the user risks never getting their intent satisfied or having their assets used for cross-chain flash-loaning 😅 Maybe that's useful as a param tho?

Yeah I think the hard part is that intents are made to make the user "not have to think" — the extra parameter is like a slippage parameter (in theory, easy-ish to set for users; but in practice, less so)
