RFC: Standardizing Virtual Transaction Templates for Cross-Implementation Interoperability

Hi Steven,

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough and technically insightful response. It’s very helpful to get this level of clarity on the current direction of ark-lib and Second’s design philosophy.

I completely understand the preference for flexibility and speed at this early stage. My goal with V-PACK isn’t to slow down development with a rigid committee standard, but to provide a neutral adapter library so third-party tools (like hardware wallets or recovery services) don’t have to choose a side or rebuild logic for every implementation.

Regarding no_std support, I’ll be following your progress on ark-lib closely. In the meantime, I’ll continue focusing on the glue logic that bridges the specific template differences to ensure cross-client state remains verifiable.

I appreciate the invite to the community chat, I’ll definitely drop in there as I get further into the implementation.

Thanks again!
