How Can ARK Protocol Ensure Trust and Accountability in Instant vTXO Issuance with Delayed On-Chain Transactions?
What happens if the on-chain transaction fails (with funds returning to the ASP)? Ark transactions are atomic (via Anchored transactions) so if the ASP’s on-chain transaction (aka Round tx) fails, Bob never received his VTXO. Just like with Bitcoin, Bob only has a UTXO after Alice’s payment is confirmed. VTXO’s are Bitcoin transactions that spent a part of an existing UTXO.

How TikTok (and social media in general) changed the music world gets a lot of discussion. I dare you to find one song on the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 that hasn’t already gone viral on TikTok. I’ll wait but also save you the trouble: There isn’t one. However, one lesser-discussed aspect of the TikTokification of our daily lives is how TikTok (and, again, social media in general) changed how we discover comedians. You’ve got your mainstream stand-up comedians. You’ve got your improv comics. You’ve got your sketch comedians. And they’re all building their audience online (and making bank because…
