For me, the most important thing here is that I want the Hub to be a major venue by which synethic assets from users of the iqlusion liquid staking module are issued. Lido wants to be the first operator to issue from the Hub. If we deploy the liquid staking module without having cosmoswasm available, there is a strong possibility that some other chain will take over the asset issuer role.
Interchain staking is making great progress but using interchain staking for issuance requires a lot of complex engineering around interchain queries that Quicksilver is taking on. It’s good to have multiple paths to success instead of betting on one technical direction.
