How much liquidity do you expect a typical ASP to have? Perhaps also explain how you plan to lower the requirements (that old VTXOs will be able to get more efficiently redeemed).
ASPs can customize their fee tier configs and vTXO liveness delta preference according to fee market & liquidity conditions.
One must own a large chunk of BTC to run an ASP infra. Otherwise, its better to join an ASP federation.
Although intense capital requirements, overall, Ark uses liquidity as efficiently as Lightning since recipients are always one hop away from the senders, unlike Lightning, where the liquidity must be deployed on every single hop.
There is also room for liquidity optimizations:
