The user wishes the Ethereum Foundation would guide the development of OTC protocols to embrace off-chain matchers, allow users to utilize off-chain orders, and enable opting into different trust assumptions (e.g., trusting a matcher to cancel an order). This is seen as crucial for creating a superior, trustless base layer for app teams.
This is EXACTLY what I wish the EF had the vision to see. As I said before, defi need public goods. No tokenomics, no governance, no protocol fees. that's how Ethereum would actually win. Simple, utility-proven, secure primitives. That said, I think the current OTC contracts can have a lot more improvements, there is no protocol fee, but it also lacks the necessary incentive structure for others services to be built on top. IMO a "OTC protocol" should embrace the fact that there will be offchain matchers, design it accordingly so user can use offchain orders, and opt in to different trust assumptions (like trusting a matcher to cancel your order) and so on. The value is that the App-layer competition should be open, but liquidity can be shared. If built correctly. This would just be a much superior choice for "App teams" as there is 0 trust assumptions on the base layer. The exact reason we tell people to use Ethereum for.
