Exactly Which is why I'm excited by the "Ark as channel factory" idea that René Pickhardt has been pushing Ark doesn't really improve privacy, or settlement speed, compared to L1. It helps a *lot* with scaling though So we build Lightning on top of Ark. Ark is Layer 1.5, and is much more scalable. Then we build Lightning directly on top of Ark, to get privacy and another big multiple of scalability
