Then I submit my essay from 2 years ago (
https://blog.casa.io/why-bitcoin-needs-covenants/) and will quote myself:
"There are clearly a LOT of use cases that could potentially be unlocked
with the right kind of covenant implementation. Personally, having spent 8
years working on high security multi-signature wallets, I'm most interested
in vaults. I believe the value they offer is quite straightforward and is
applicable to every single self-custody bitcoin user, regardless of what
type of wallet they are running."
