something that bothered me about on-chain settlement semantics

this might be a stupid idea, so I’m posting it here before I waste more time on it

one thing that has always bothered me about Ethereum is that everything settles gross by default

in traditional systems netting happens before stuff is settled, on chain that never happens

in the little vacation i've had i tried to experiment with this stuff and created a set of contracts that submitted exec claims instead of transferring stuff immediately, everything enforced on-chain, nothing external

that eventually connected to some other things that I also implemented:

-explicit pricing for urgent execution (instead of mev/searchers implicitly pricing it)

-and a crude on-chain clearing/default mechanism to make "failure states" deterministic

i’m not convinced this is useful, or even coherent

so, here's a few questions:

does this break EVM mental models in a fundamental way?

is exec-level netting just a bs rollup/batcher?

is on-chain clearing without custody just nonsense?

stuff isn't live anywhere i just want a sanity check before i try to make anything off it

feel free to tear it apart or ask for more data
