If WoS (or their custodian), rugging all their users, would be absolutely BRUTAL for Bitcoin adoption!

I like phoenix, would be Amazing to have separate app, or software that watched the channel on chain, and could post a justice transaction if Phoenix tried to rug me.

The ASP has to bridge the transaction, but it’s little different than what an LSP does. If your LSP doesn’t want to fulfill your payment, all you can do is close your channel. They are required in your oath either way. Ark transactions can be channels in the same way and can be paid with the same dynamic of having to go through the ASP, but still acting as a normal Lightning payment.
