something consistently in the back of my mind whenever i’m working on cross-chain swaps / chain abstraction:

does this thing still get the job done once we’re multiplanetary?

blockchains in space are absolutely inevitable, and if what we’re building doesn’t work on mars then GTFO

is there any reason to believe that the right protocol for swapping in high-latency situations would also be the right protocol for swapping in low-latency situations? that would be very unintuitive to me

I think the protocol for swapping would inevitably look quite different

but the core building blocks should be able to handle the use-case IMHO
