Fulmine Submarine Swap (ARK → Lightning)

You can pay a Lightning Network invoice using ARK by executing a submarine swap via the Boltz service. This Skill locks your ARK funds in a VHTLC, which Boltz claims once the Lightning invoice is successfully settled.

A submarine swap is an atomic cross-chain exchange where ARK funds are locked in a VHTLC. The Boltz service monitors this contract and claims the ARK only after the corresponding Lightning Network invoice is fully paid.

VHTLC creation for ARK to Lightning swaps involves initiating the exchange through the Boltz API. The process funds a VHTLC contract and continuously monitors its status for either successful invoice settlement or a required refund.

Yes, you can use the Boltz API to exchange ARK for Lightning payments. This Skill integrates directly with the Boltz API to handle swap initiation, VHTLC funding, and real-time status updates for invoice settlement.

If your ARK to Lightning submarine swap fails, the Skill monitors the VHTLC for refund scenarios. This ensures that your locked ARK funds are handled appropriately and can be returned if the Lightning invoice is not settled.

To cross-chain swap ARK to the Lightning Network, you need a mechanism to fund the VHTLC and a Lightning invoice to settle. This Skill manages the complex cross-chain exchange via Boltz without requiring additional dependencies.
