my latest for the @btcinsider__ @arkade_os' riga experiment was also a massive win for the lightning network crypto twitter has been arguing over liquidity fragmentation due to an influx of new L1s and L2s. in bitcoin, various protocols continue to seamlessly interoperate. all via lightning arkade is a new bitcoin l2 coming to market (presumably) in the coming months. their mainnet experiment last week was further evidence that lightning is well equipped to be the interopability layer between arkade and other protocols like @spark, @fedimint, and more icydk, protcols like fedimint and Arkade can't natively communicate with each other. you can't send an ecash note to an arkade user directly so these protocols' respective lightning gateways execute these transactions on users' behalf. on the backend, gateways communicate with each other and the participants in a payment. for users, everything is abstracted away. it feels like a standard payment the conscious decision for these protocols to integrate with lightning, via gateways, proves that bitcoin is avoiding the fragmentation problem that plagues multichain/network ecosystems arkade sustained a high volume of payments last week and attendees didn't even notice. kudos to their team on execution bullish for bitcoin as a whole
