If you want to be able to coordinate to construct transactions you need to do it off-chain. The network can have standard systems for doing that or for verifying content (ex: DA-ed data that doesn't commit to L1) but any transactions that are settling on chain need to be 100% deterministic.

> The utxo model was no mistake. It works well with pure value transfers and offers a refreshing take on general-purpose programming on chain. > [..] > The downsides of this model are the mirror image of their strengths. The functional style is alien to most developers, and it hinders complicated interactions and integrations that are dominant in mainstream blockchain programming. There are more downsides than that. The eUTxO model is not equivalent to accounts when it comes to its capabilities for building dApps. I explained it in more detail recently in a problem statement document for Cardano: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/874
