Trying to understand what merging the duality into neutron would represent I decided to use my favorite Cosmos model. Using the ancient city structure as an analogy for the Cosmos network architecture.
Of course, here we replace citizens by data structures. This model has been detailed in a much more comprehensive manner in the forthcoming report we will release soon.
With the help of this model, we can easily see the ICSv1 security layer, in the city center, covering the core public infrastructure. I always saw Duality as the smaller market (1) which is right in the center of the city. Cornered by merchants (2) which would compare to LPs (those holding the merchandise traded on public markets… data & tokens) and the temple (4) where public politics happen. People don’t see it today but… the temple is stride bc liquid staked tokens will carry a lot of governance powers in the near future. holding significant shares of voting rights in many projects all across the city.
With that analogy in mind, there is the need for an individual market in the center of these… one that deals with the nearby districts we just mentioned. One that differs from the general public market on the right which would be Osmosis.
For these reasons I think there will be a public DEX chain in the ICSv1 which will offer trade for the aforementioned central public infrastructure surrounding it. Of course this is just a model… but we can learn a lot from the past… if cities organized like this in the past there were reasons for this. According to the model, it would make no sense to have the city market inside the administration building.
