Is first mover advantage unfair? Boltz has been swapping liquid and lightning long before anyone else.

Boltz and Loop are for-profit centralized businesses. PeerSwap is an open source decentralized solution, saving cost for everyone who rebalance their channels. Bitcoin is about openness and freedom. I hate it when a corporation gets cost advantage for a year over open source alternatives. If you need to beta test, do it on testnet. Early access for a selected few is so fiat. First they said Q3, now EOY. PR was merged in May. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Or at least a conflict of interests. Boltz has no incentive to vote for public release!

I get it, but:
  1. Boltz is open-source. Join Liquid as a federation member, run their stack and compete.
  2. Breez is now part of the Liquid federation and this will be publicly available.
  3. PeerSwap, again, cannot be used for payments.

Peer swap is not a liquid federation member?
Mystery solved!
Non members should not expect to have federation benefits.
It’s like Ukraine expecting NATO membership benefits. Maybe Ukraine is a bad example
