The stablecoin infra convo is missing a key piece: fast finality
Multi-chain deployment is important, but w/out fast finality for chains, users wait >12mins to move stables where they’re needed.
That’s not programmable money. It just replicates TradFi’s siloed funds onchain.
Solutions like intents improve UX, but they don't solve the underlying fragmentation caused by Ethereum's slow finality.
Intents just shift risk from users to solvers, who compete on their risk tolerance. Someone is still either waiting 12+ mins or trusting a single sequencer.
