Ark is sufficient as a scaling solution for the foreseeable future.
We have a lot to learn from the implications it will have on self custodial applications and the entire Lightning ecosystem.
If you're interested in additional opcodes to Bitcoin for security concerns then that's a different conversation but we have plenty of time to put together a compelling vision that can put consensus in motion.

Is there any usable Ark wallet at the moment?
'Ark is sufficient as a scaling solution for the foreseeable future.'
How far is foreseeable?
I have heard this for a year now.... and seen nothing so far. Any apps included Ark usable right now?
In a recent pod you mentioned interactivity limitations on mobile w/o covenants. Can you expand on that?
Rolling over your VTXOs (participating in a transaction batch) is a bit of an involved process and needs to be abstracted away from users as much as possible but that's an implementation and app level concern that is not a deal breaker.
No. RGB is a metaprotocol.
Ark batches transactions onchain.
Actual work on an Ark implementation began a year ago at most.
It's been more or less 6 months since teams are working full time on the protocol.
It takes some time but you should expect Ark integration on mainnet within 3-4 months.
It's getting close but not yet.
Full time work on the protocol only began last year.
As nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev says, bitcoin is not about moving fast and breaking things. That’s how the fiat system (and shitcoins) works.
Yeah. There are ways to run short background tasks now even on iOS. This is basically how Phoenix handles signing and releasing the preimage to receive in the background. The device just has to be online…
