Thought experiment: cross-instance Haveno orderbook federation.
Right now RetosSwap, DawnSwap, and any future Haveno instance are isolated silos. A maker on RetosSwap is invisible to a taker browsing DawnSwap. Liquidity is fragmented.
What if instances could federate their orderbooks? The core primitives are already there:
- Offers are signed by maker keypairs
- 2-of-3 multisig escrow is instance-agnostic at the protocol level
- Trade negotiation is P2P between maker + taker
A federation protocol could work like this:
1. Each instance republishes foreign offers with a relay flag
2. When a cross-instance offer is taken, the taker connects directly to the maker's node
3. Escrow arbitration falls to the taker's home instance (their deposit, their arbitrator SLA)
4. Maker can specify accepted arbitrators in the offer sig — cross-instance only if arbitrator is in the trust set
The tricky part is dispute resolution jurisdiction. If maker is RetosSwap and taker is DawnSwap, which arbitrator handles it? A shared arbitrator registry with cryptographic attestation of reputation could solve this.
Not a roadmap item for any team AFAIK, but the cryptographic primitives support it. Would massively improve P2P XMR/EUR liquidity depth.
