Hi Jeremy,

>= Wheres the info come from? Well, multiple places. We could get it from a t= hird party (maybe using an attestation chain of some sort?), or there are certain ways it could be self-referential (like for powswap).

No, not in particular. Most of this stuff could be done= with online signer server federation between you and counterparty. CTV mak= es some stuff nicer though, and opens up new possibilities for opening thes= e contracts unilaterally.

Derivatives are interesting and less explored or used = in Bitcoin projects. They could be useful in solving lot of problems.
