ARK provides users with innovative use cases through the development and integration of technologies that power the blockchain universe. Highly flexible and adaptable, ARK is a secure platform designed for mass adoption and will deliver the services that consumers want.
ARK's Core is configured to produce ultra fast transaction speeds approaching 200 transactions per minute. With scaling, higher throughput is possible.
ARK provides a more decentralized voting system than other DPoS consensus models. Voting weight is divided across all votes instead of assigning 100% weight to each vote, making it nearly impossible for a takeover of the entire network.
ARK aims to bridge well known blockchain technologies through the use of SmartBridges, thus achieving hyper-connectivity.
PHYSICAL CARD SYSTEM
Physical cards and transfer equipment accessible to people without traditional bank accounts. This also includes tools to manage off-chain transactions.
BRIDGED BLOCKCHAINS
Ark will bridge other blockchains via a vendorfield known as the SmartBridge. This includes, but is not limited to: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Lisk.
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENTS
Our developers are working around the clock making improvements to our core. Keeping it fast, secure, and stable.
ARK ROADMAP
