right, but that stat is for “onboarding.” once you have LN channels open, there is no upper bound on how many txs can be processed in the channel, which is what makes it a scaling solution.

taproot and CISA would allow for more efficient and private opening of LN channels, which should help with that onboarding number, but i agree that channel management is a huge drawback for LN.

supposedly ARK uses way less chainspace. it would be really nice to see some code and a PoC implementation 😁
