The biggest and probably most important difference is Bark allows you to unilaterally exit your bitcoin. LN custodians hold your bitcoin for you, so there is no ability for you to exit without their permission.

So you're saying you can't block me from withdrawing? What happens if your servers are down or unreachable? Can I still withdraw my sats?

reply

Yes, we have a unilateral exit.

Your vtxo is just a chain of normal bitcoin transactions.
You can publish them to the blockchain.

You are in control of the coins. Not the server

That’s interesting! Do you have an app where I can try a unilateral exit with direct publishing on the blockchain?

I recommend testing this on signet with the Noah app: https://github.com/smolcars/noah

You can get signet sats from our faucet: https://signet.2nd.dev

Alternatively you can use mainnet, it's well tested but it'll cost you real sats.
