This sounds like the beginning of "industrial strength" Lightning implementations.

Some good ideas:

key management
- Facilitate portability by using a deterministic key generation mechanism based on NIP-06.
- Prevent users from mistakenly entering key material already used in other Nostr social media apps.
- Rotate keys for every trade. When a user started a Mostro client for first time,
NIP-69.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms have seen an upturn in recent years, while having more and more options is positive, in the specific case of p2p, having several options contributes to the liquidity split, meaning sometimes there's not enough assets available for trading. If we combine all these individual solutions into one big pool of orders, it will make them much more competitive compared to centralized systems, where a single authority controls the liquidity.
