Yes, that's the plan.  For as long as the delegates can handle the transaction volume easily (meaning until we're quite a bit bigger than BTC), it's more efficient and more convenient to run everything on the same chain.  There has been some discussion of using subchains or some such system eventually, but that's low priority until transaction volume becomes a concern.

My understanding is that BTS, bitAssets, VOTES etc will now need to all operate on a single block chain, is that correct? If so, this would seem to limit the number of internal DACs that BTS could manage in future. Is it technically possible for BTS to operate internal DACs on multiple block chains? What's stopping this? I'm not a techie, just wondering about scalability of current approach.
