ARK
ARK Providing innovative blockchain technology to users, developers, and startups. They aim to create a complete ecosystem of interconnected chains, along with a virtual spiderweb with unlimited use cases, making ARK it highly flexible, adaptable, and scalable.ARK is a secure platform designed for mass adoption that will deliver the services consumers want and developers need. It is fast, decentralized, scalable, collaborative, bridgeable, and open source.ARK The desktop wallet is natively built for all major operating systems.ARK The wallet connects to fully synchronized network nodes without requiring the download of the entire blockchain.ARK operates using a delegated proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. Unlike Bitcoin, where miners equipped with expensive hardware secure network transactions,ARK the network is secured by delegates. There are hundreds of potential delegates, but ARK token holders in the ecosystem continuously vote on who can actually become active block-producing delegates. Only 51 delegates can be selected. As a token holder, you can vote for only delegate at a time. The cost to vote or unvote is only 1ARK, so it is beneficial to vote at least once for a delegate you support. The more ARK tokens you own, the greater your voting power.ARK earlier this year February was launched by 27 members located around the world. Team members are spread from California to Bulgaria,ARK making the team truly decentralized. The team currently consists of 15 core members.ARK The infrastructure is largely modeled after earlier projects: BitShares, Crypti, and Lisk. In fact, some developers of ARK were previously developers on some of these projects. François-Xavier (FX) Thoorens, also known as CTO, previously served as 2016 a core developer at Lisk. ARK Community A diverse group of people with different skills, including full-stack and web developers, network engineers, hardware specialists, fund managers, musicians, traders, social media promoters, and business owners, have come together to realize the shared vision of ARK team members. Everyone is passionately committed to collaboration and to the growth of the 30 ecosystem and community. ARK Token Secured by a cryptographic blockchain network similar to Lisk and Crypti, it operates using the delegated proof-of-stake consensus algorithm developed by BitShares.ARK Delegated proof of stake provides a newly refined voting system and incorporates numerous improvements over previous delegated proof-of-stake implementations. SmartBridge To expand the reach of the ARK platform,ARK uses ARK SmartBridges to bridge utility and proprietary blockchains. These SmartBridges enable communication between already validated, bridged blockchains and can perform tasks and advanced functions. Through the use of SmartBridges,ARK the team can connect many popular blockchains and ultimately establish a unified link between different ecosystems. For example,ARK the first blockchains the team will bridge include: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lisk,ARK third-party anonymous network integration, or more proprietary gaming economy tokens (codename: A***** [code: A***]), and many other bridges connecting new and existing blockchains in the future. Security Because we understand that security is everyone’s primary concern, cryptography and security principles are integrated throughout the development lifecycle to ensure that the core of security meets users’ requirements and expectations.
