I am interested in learning more about ARK. This was the argument for this L2 compared to LN, citing scaling issues.
Discussion
As I understand, Ark is meant to be interoperable with Lightning and add utility at the node level, not to simply replace it.
Yes, LN becomes a settlement layer, but I am at infancy in understanding it. #[3]​ had two episodes covering it, which was very helpful. I just need to go back and listen again to absorb it better.
