JUST IN: Second has launched Bark on Bitcoin mainnet, bringing the Ark protocol to production and aiming to make self-custodial Bitcoin as simple to use as custodial apps.
Bark is designed to solve one of Bitcoin’s biggest challenges: self-custody without sacrificing user experience.
While on-chain transactions can be slow and expensive during periods of congestion, and traditional Lightning wallets often require users to manage channels and liquidity, Ark takes a different approach.
The protocol uses a client-server architecture where the server handles payment routing across Ark, Lightning, and on-chain rails, while users remain in control of their bitcoin and retain an emergency exit if the server becomes unavailable or malicious.
The launch marks one of the most significant real-world deployments of Ark to date, as developers continue searching for ways to make self-custodial Bitcoin accessible to mainstream users without relying on traditional custodians.
Self-custody doesn’t have to be complicated 🔐
COLDCARD + @nunchuk_io make it easy to secure your bitcoin without sacrificing control.

⚒️ The builder

The Geyser Ambassador Program rewards the third one.
African countries can use #Bitcoin🕊️ for borderless trade by leveraging its low transaction fees and rapid settlement times, which significantly reduce costs and delays associated with traditional banking systems. This enables traders to engage in international commerce more efficiently and respond quickly to market changes. | Binance

Last weekend, a new public study program started.
We took a deep dive into how computers represent data and the cryptography that secures the network. It was an intense first session, but we enjoyed the class. ⚡️

The best Bitcoin hardware wallet isn't the loudest brand.
It's a trust model.
1. What code can you inspect?
2. How do you verify transactions?
3. How do you recover your keys?
4. What happens if the company disappears tomorrow?
Start there.
