Liquidity for Reliable Payments
Benefit from secure and reliable payments facilitated by trusted liquidity providers
Payments are possible as long as the liquidity providers have sufficient bitcoin to back the virtual transactions, ensuring trustless transfers.
How it works?
1
Users can send fast and low-cost transactions via the ASP.
2
Self-custodial users can start transacting over Ark with only a wallet app on their device.
3
Virtual transactions between users of separate ASPs are sent over Lightning (using a little cryptographic magic).
4
Ark virtual transactions can be redeemed for Bitcoin on-chain at any time, even if the ASP is offline.
