This is not good news if onchain. I hope this is a sidechain solution.

Lastly, experience with other chains has already conclusively demonstrated the folly of jettisoning $Billions of USD worth of dedicated security appliances.
While the capacity increase is attractive, this looks to be facing at least a trifecta of real implementation problems.
I must admit that as far as technical details, I am quivering with antici...
