I. Project Introduction
ARK is an interoperable blockchain that can link to any other blockchain (SmartBridge). With the technology's vast array of modules and SDKs, ARK is building a spider web of connected chains with a button to launch the blockchain interface. Let ARK be the WordPress of the blockchain world. ARK provides users with innovative use cases, develops and integrates technology through the power of the blockchain field, is highly flexible and adaptable, ARK is a secure platform designed for large-scale applications and to consumers and consumers. Developers provide services and needs. ARK coins are similar to Bitcoin and can be used to store and transfer value. Additionally, ARK can serve as a unified medium of exchange within the ARK ecosystem.
Second, Delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS)
The traditional proof of delegation protocol relies on token holders to protect network security, but Ark is different, it uses a delegated proof model. The top 51 holding the most tokens are responsible for the maintenance of the network. They consolidate blocks and earn rewards in the form of transaction fees and Ark dividends. But each Ark holder has the ability to vote for delegates, giving their own Ark amount to delegates. Representatives then pay based on how much each voter contributed. Thus, everyone can benefit from the PoS model.
The 51% attack is much more difficult to implement. In the standard proof-of-stake model, if a user buys 51% of tokens, he can authorize invalid transactions. But according to Ark's protocol, even if a representative gets 51% of the tokens, he is still only one of the 51 representatives.
III. Project Features
1. Fast
ARK blockchain network can complete a block confirmation in only 8 seconds, which is the fastest in the industry one of the networks.
ARK utilizes an adjusted DPoS consensus mechanism. It stems from Lisk, Crypti, and BitShares, and has numerous improvements to the core code and the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm. ARK nodes are tasked with running the ARK blockchain network and are rewarded with points, just like Bitcoin miners.
ARK's main goal is to keep the core blockchain stable and develop rapidly.
By using the customized SmartBridge function, users can build hundreds of sidechains with non-essential functions. This allows for great scalability while keeping the main ARK blockchain accurate and fast.
ARK is not done by one person, team, or even in one country.
ARK is a joint effort of 14 core team members from 10 different countries and a growing number of community developers to truly achieve global collaboration. ARK is a truly global collaborative effort.
ARK enables an interconnected blockchain ecosystem by bridging well-known blockchains using custom SmartBridge technology. This is one of the main highlights of ARK.
ARK's ecosystem and projects are completely open source, which helps users launch their own SmartBridge-compatible blocks on demand. Everything is hosted on GitHub for user convenience.
