Lightning Networks & Sidechains Catapult development

Greetings,

I was at the Melbourne meet up, last month - and feel NEM is heading in the right direction with Catapult. Fantastic team, and you have my interest peaked!!

Im interested to know if you could build a blockchain on catapult that utilises the characteristics of a lighting network, but instead of monetary transactions Im talking smart contracts e.g. I offer the terms of a contract and we now enter a time lock period of 14days lets say, allowing me to alter the terms of the original transaction and receive amendments till we come to an agreeance of the transaction, when Im satisfied with the terms of the smart contract, I can then close off the side chain thus adding this to the chain!?

Im putting together a POC and feel NEM maybe the platform I want begin building on.

Any help will be much appreciated :slight_smile:
