Good write up. I know there's a lot of ways to skin the cat, but having something APO-like will be huge for lightning / layer 2 stuff. I know more about APO than any of the CTV or OP_VAULT stuff, but perhaps one of them can achieve similar end goals. It's all so hard to invest the effort in learning any of it when I've been waiting on APO since I heard of it in 2019.

I'm intrigued by TBDXXX, but relying on it and pushing for it is how we get into the push backs we have before. Same thing with all the imaginary chains off of bitcoin proposals.

If you're building a company or product that relies on a soft fork, you're simply NGMI. Might have worked on the early days of segwit which everyone knew we needed but it won't work again. Hopefully TBDXXX can do some things normally and unique before then and can take advantage of any softfork if and when one comes.
