Welcome! I have to say purse.io is really interesting concept.
How many LN transactions have you seen so far made on Purse.io?
What is the relationship between Purse.io and Bitcoin Cash?
Does bcoin support Taproot - if not is it planned?
We’ve answered about Bitcoin Cash elsewhere, but to keep it short, BCH is what our customers demanded when the fork occurred due to the low fees. If a strong majority of our userbase are Bitcoin and Lightning proponents, then we’ll reconsider the need for Bitcoin Cash. As far as transactions on Purse, 20% of all transactions have involved Lightning.
Taproot support is currently in review for Bcoin, here’s the Pull Request that will provide that support: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin/pull/1063

Nice! 20% of lightning seems a lot especially since you added it just recently.

Lightning integration was a long awaited feature, so naturally our power users transitioned to it quickly after launching. It's still so new though, so we anticipate more users switching as it becomes more embedded into the ecosystem and more exchanges adopt lightning deposits/withdrawals
