Thanks @anon61899651 it is worth hearing this from an informed source.
It would be interesting to hear from Erik or any Thorchain dev on feasibility to a straight ThorChain fork supporting at least three assets to swap between: Maid-omni, SNT and some Maid-erc20 or equivalent. At first look this would help minimise a few economic friction points for the future SN and perhaps solve the Maid-o → SNT transition problem.
