"a third incompatible ARK implementation has hit the chain"

$SECZ - ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF $ARKF (one of Cathie Wood’s funds) after buying over 450k SECZ shares last week, ARFK bought another 83K shares of @Securitize yesterday - The position is now well over 500k shares in the fund.

yep vtxo expiry is still part of the system users can manually do lower level things like join rounds, or do direct vtxo spends, etc -- but the main API is high level and focuses on send/recv on-chain addrs created automatically board into the system there's a single unified LN invoice that hand

each layer serves a purpose: * the Ark layer enables batching of on-chain transactions * the swap layer serves as a Bridge to LN * an internal HTLC-based payment system enables use of LN invoice for all off-chain transactions (no new addresses!)

1/ Wallet apps built on Bark have never done their own Lightning pathfinding: the Ark server works out the best path on their behalf. It works great, but some users want more control, or don't want to share destination data. New research from @notgrubles explores an alternative.

A must-read from @Excellion on why @Liquid_BTC is the best Bitcoin L2 for everyday use. 🌊 Unilateral exit sounds great in theory, but when fees rise, exiting small Ark or Spark balances can cost more than they are worth. Privacy, liquidity, and a cheap real exit matter more.

$SECZ ARK Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF $ARKF (one of Cathie Wood’s funds) bought >340K shares of @Securitize today. I’d flagged them as potential post-deSPAC buyers—they held privately pre-IPO. Great to see them adding!

💻 Samson Mow (@Excellion), CEO de JAN3, planteó ocho criterios para elegir una L2 de Bitcoin, entre ellos privacidad y liquidez. Además, analizó las salidas unilaterales de los protocolos Liquid Network, Ark y Spark.

Very good post article about the heart of what happens with bitcoin L2 . I developed for both Ark and spark and I agree Ark is better design for privacy . Important thing to me is to possibility of smart contracts , not only token or exchange . Ark and spark are for exchange money fast, Liquid’
