What do you mean with transactions? I can guess but I would rather not guess lol
So you mean like a market order? Just accepting the best price currently available for a trade?
I think that's definitely doable. In the early days, I implemented an AMM but the problem with them is that the one providing the liquidity (the market maker) is essentially the counter party to everything and thus risks losing everything in the worst case. I had some discussion with @kr around this. At some point I realized that an AMM is a) antithetical to my P2P vision and b) making it too complicated.
I only got the MVP done because it's essentially just a marketplace for parties willing to bet on events to meet. And I like that.
As I try to write a follow up to clarify what I'm asking, I'm getting more confused. Perhaps I'll circle back after my brain has a chance to warm up.
