📝 Original message:Good morning darosior,
Do you know if there is a working implementation of APO somewhere that people can use to try out some of the proposed usecases? For example, it would be great to see what eltoo would actually look like on an APO signet. Or to see some working code for a vault using covenants in an APO world.
I haven’t seen much in the way of APO implementations recently, but I also haven’t gone looking, so would appreciate any links!
Thanks
