Thanks for this — closing in favor of #8 which has the full Solidity escrow contract alongside the Python client. Your client-only implementation was clean but #8 is more complete.

Your other switchboard PR (#11 nonce manager) is merged and your meridian work is being reviewed. Plenty more issues to pick up across the org.

Makes sense — #8's complete Solidity escrow + Python client is the stronger approach. Thanks for the context, and appreciate you keeping my other switchboard contributions in mind! Happy to help with tests or docs on #8 if that would be useful.
