Does the Delay Introduced by the Scheme Create New Types of Market Risk for the User?

Yes, the delay between the commit and reveal phases introduces market price risk. Since the trade is not executed immediately, the price of the asset can move significantly between the time the user commits and the time the trade is revealed and executed.

This price change can make the trade unprofitable or cause the final execution price to fall outside the user's acceptable range, a risk not present in instant-execution systems.
