Can you elaborate? Both are Layer 2 solutions as far as I understand.

Layer 2s by there definition allows users to always go back on chain. That is what MercuryLayer, Ark and the lightning network allows you to do. Fedimint is shared custody.

Ok - so how does Fedimint solve custody? You’re still beholden to a third party that can rug you at any point in time

So no point to Fedimint then? Might as well use Wallet of Satoshi? Or Liquid?
Guess MercuryLayer comes out on top then…
