Thanks — that’s helpful, and we have looked at #262. Our view is that SettleFlow is complementary rather than overlapping: OpenZeppelin Canton Ecosystem Stack is about standardizing reusable contract foundations and canonical patterns, while SettleFlow is focused on the missing coordination layer for 3-party DvP workflows on top of existing primitives like CIP-56 and Daml Finance.

We’re intentionally staying narrower so we can prove one concrete end-to-end workflow, rather than trying to define the whole stack. If you know of any teams working on reference implementations for settlement coordination specifically, I’d love to look at those too.
