Hey everyone,

Super excited to share that [https://ArkAPI.dev](https://ArkAPI.dev) has officially migrated to mainnet today! 🚀  
The entire stack is switched over, meaning the API gateway, dashboard, billing services,  
and documentation are now fully operational with Lightning and native Ark payments. Alongside the mainnet migration, we upgraded the entire stack to the latest Bark 0.2.5 release across the payment service, consumer wallet, and support systems.

We did some live testing today and also converted the Telegram bot over to mainnet as  
well and everything settled and worked exactly as expected!

It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of this journey. Huge congratulations to the  
dev team on this milestone, can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Great stuff. So far launch has been smooth and no major bugs reported, although still lots of great feedback we can use to improve. Let us know how it goes and anything you’d like to see in the SDK. I’ll make a post to make sure everyone knows it’s on mainnet too.
