As far as I know in the getting on for 2 years since the first CTV activation talk/attempt literally no one has built out a CTV use case and demonstrated it on signet with the possible exception of James O'Beirne's OP_VAULT which requires other new opcodes in addition to CTV. I wish this wasn't the case. It is pitiful that we have these individuals (such as yourself) that are so convinced CTV should be activated but refuse to address any concerns raised by others and refuse to work on any of the speculated use cases, instead choosing to just beat the activation drum over and over again.

James O’Beirne built a CTV-only vault prototype[1], actually. Jeremy Rubin also built vaults and many other prototypes with his Sapio smart contracting language.[2]

So this assertion that CTV has had no use cases or prototypes built out for it is just not true.
