The big debate happening around Covenant OPCODE inclusion has stalled in a chicken-v-egg style standoff.

Obviously Blockstream thinks these OPCODEs are safe. +* Liquid is a good testing ground for new OPCODEs being considered for inclusion into BTC. This allows them to be real-world tested before they make it into BTC. For example many of the advanced OPCODEs that are argued for inclusion into BTC for Covenants / Vaults *already exist* in Liquid[^11]. This transforms Liquid into being something of a "Beta-test" chain for BTC. +* Given the above, proponents of Covenants could use this to help make their case for inclusion into mainchain BTC. The current debate has stalled in a chicken-egg style standoff. One side is saying: *Show us real world use-cases of this solving problems* and the other responding *we first need the OPCODEs to build these things*. A potential solution is for Covenant proponents to go build their use-cases on Liquid. * Could Fedimints / eCash mints find ways to utilize custom sidechains based on Elements as a way to prove to users that they are not debasing eCash tokens via Frac Reserve? (record eCash issuance as asset issuances on federated sidechain?) * Could the community spin up our own Federated version of Liquid? * On **Federation Trusting**. The most hotly debated topic around Liquid is can we trust the Federation to not censure us? I think these are reasonable concerns (but largely overblown).
