That architecture is really nice for signing. But for Cashu mints, since putting a mint in a Nitro enclave can't prevent rugging then doing so has to be useful for something else in order to bother (and pay) to do it, and that something else for me is mint insurance. And the smart contract facilitates the business end of the insurance side.
