I agree, but I don't think they will. Yeah, the ecosystem is open source, but companies are here to compete, not to teach their way of winning to others. It's a big chicken and egg problem.

I wish those people all the best but tbh I don’t believe they either exist or have some real vision
Even if they are real and have such a strong vision they can only keep it in secret… they can’t find a $10k investment/credit to hire a dev? Sounds unreal, sorry, would love to be wrong here :)
Some of them are already building their own relay systems. But that will be private code most likely. My original post was to see if anyone wants to build it in the open with funds from Opensats (which can be much more than 10k).
What do the relay developers you know consider to be missing from existing implementations to make the enterprise grade? If the only thing missing is a proverbial "throat to choke" when something breaks, I might have an idea for a business model 😅
I could create enterprise relay software easily in python or spring boot. But I already failed to create notable income from my lightning dev. There's not enough money in these volunteer parties to compete with real dev income.
