A curated list of ARK resources

What is it

ARK is a second-layer solution designed to scale Bitcoin transactions. It uses a shared UTXO model for off-chain payments through an intermediary server that cannot access your funds.

To avoid confusion: "token" used here is BTC not an altcoin with the name ARK. If you are looking for the list of resources for that one it is available in a different repo and beside the common name the two things are totally unrelated.

The full non-interactive ARK version requires covenants (which can be achieved using CTV or APO).

However using n-of-n multisig you can have a simplified version requiring all participants to be online or using the Ruben shortcut that reduces of 50% the interactivity required without a soft-fork. Which means ARK can be rolled out on bitcoin immediately.

It is complementary to lightning in a sense that you can still use lightning with ARK but most transactions will be done directly off-chain (and off-channel). ARK service providers (ASPs) providing liquidity are usually also lightning service providers (LSPs).
