Is there any plans for this to have something like ecommerce integration where we can use it in purchasing of goods and services?
There will have to be everyday usability for NCTR for it to serve its purpose. As it is not designed as a speculative asset, hodling won't be very attractive.
Scaling to everyday purchases will not be possible onchain. As NCTR will be based on TEEs, second layer scaling is expected to be easier to do than i.e bitcoin lightning. See for example
Teechan. Also, approaches like
liquidity.network would benefit from TEEs and fit well to encointer.
But first things first....
