On: Simplifying Cross-Chain Transactions Using Intents

[westurner]

Pathfinding is based on (lowest) path costs.

Solvers could be implemented as ILP Senders.

ILP has trust lines: how much [money] each party trusts each other party [with] is up to them.

Whether parties obey KYC/AML in pathfinding might be the higher risk part; mustn't the system disallow lower cost but higher risk paths

I do agree! But really, it depends on the exact problem being solved and the constraints you're optimizing for, we could collaborate on a joint article and go more in-depthly into these two, let me know what you think

ILP terminology from Rafiki: https://rafiki.dev/overview/concepts/interledger/ :

> Packet, Peer, Connectors (Sender, Connector, Receiver), Payment pointer, SPSP Simple Payment Setup Protocol, STREAM Protocol, STREAM receipt

ILP finds routes from Senders through Connectors to ILP Receivers. An ILP Connector does Pathfinding, Quoting, and Forwarding. There are ILP Addresses, but there is no global routing table.
