SECOND IS NOW ON MAINNET.
Bark, our implementation of the Ark protocol, is available for anyone to start making bitcoin payments.
Included in the launch are our mainnet Ark server, the Bark SDK, and multiple wallets to try from day one.
I've been building a payment processor around barkd.
- Charges API + webhooks
- Checkout with Lightning, Ark, and on-chain QRs
- API keys, event log, admin dashboard
Self-hosted. Self-custodial. No liquidity to manage.
Would you use this to accept bitcoin on your website?

Researching using @lightningdevkit's client-side payment pathfinding for Bark wallets.
Instead of relying on Bark's LN gateway to create a payment route, gossip data is pulled remotely and the route is computed on-device. The gateway is then handed a blinded onion to ship off.
Les wallets Bitcoin « classiques » sont déjà obsolètes en 2026.
Voici **OZark Wallet** 🔥
Un wallet self-custodial qui réunit dans une seule app :
• Bitcoin on-chain (BDK)
• ARK Layer 2 (VTXO ultra rapides)
• Lightning (via Ark)
• Taproot Assets natif (TapD)
• Tor
Lifecycle of a Bark VTXO, from the round transaction to final sweep:
1. watch a VTXO get spent in an Ark payment,
2. offboard funds to onchain,
3. and refresh into the next timeout tree.
Timeout trees come and go, but the funds in VTXOs live on via "hash-locked" refreshes.
Sleek. It amazes me how many cats they have helped get into BOSS! Keep building, and thanks, Vinteum, for the great programs, mentorship, and fellowship that were crucial for me to get going into this amazing field. 🚀🚀🚀

A serious website was long overdue.
We redesigned vinteum.org to better tell the story of what we’ve been building: funding, training, and supporting open-source Bitcoin developers and researchers in Brazil.

Bark wallets create offchain state that needs continuous backups in case your phone is lost.
How the Bark ecosystem is solving it is through encrypted snapshotting for every wallet update, whether it's receiving sats, refreshing VTXOs, or offboarding from the Ark.

Neues Update von Bark Wallet @secondhq bringt nun auch VTXO Page mit...
Damit kannst einen direkten Exit auf die Bitcoin Blockchain oder einen manuellen Refresh direkt in der Wallet machen
👍😎
had to use cryptocurrency today; it's still unusable, UXs are a disaster, workflows confusing and risk-prone, a million ways to accidentally lose your money... why would anyone use that?
