What does federation layer, mean?
So far Robosats was a centralized server with a single LND node. The federation layer allows anyone to run this same software and be part of the federation as a coordinator, where an user can enter and see all offers created in every single coordinator in the same page.

Great work! How much trust is required of the new coordinators, compared to the original setup?
Anyone can become a coordinator 😁 So far we are experimenting with 2 levels of "trust" 1. PoW: actually have up and running the entire coordinator ecosystem, not easy, not hard. But requires knowledge and (sometines) perseverance 2. Time running: initially new coordinators are not allowed to create orders of any size, but it's limited to certain max quantity of sats which, doubles every 2 weeks since the coordinator joined (based on the block high 😁) you need to have a coordinator working for 6 months to be able to create orders of any size.
