### Overview
Alice wants to leave the Ark and get her funds back on-chain. It requires an on-chain transaction.
### Cooperative exit
#### Timeline of events
1. Alice tells ASP she wants to trade [VTXO](#vtxo) for UTXO
2. ASP (with Alice) prepares next [Pool transaction](#pool-transaction-aka-ark-transaction):
- an additional output is added, locked by `Alice`
3. Alice creates a [Forfeit transaction](#forfeit-transaction-):
- spends from VTXO (1) with `Alice + ASP`
- adds connector output from Pool transaction (2) as input
- signs it and send it to the ASP
4. ASP broadcasts [Pool transaction](#pool-transaction-aka-ark-transaction)
5. Alice has now a new UTXO
6. For at most 4 weeks, Alice will be able to double spend her [VTXO](#vtxo), but if she does it, the ASP will have time (24 hours) to grab the funds from the [VTXO](#vtxo) to itself using the [Forfeit transaction](#forfeit-transaction-)
### Non-cooperative exit
If ASP is unresponsive, Alice can unilaterally exit revealing the branch of the Pool transaction that locks her funds.
#### Timeline of events
TBD
