Ark
Ark (ARK) is a universal innovative platform designed to popularize and simplify as much as possible the processes of mutual relations, cooperation, and calculations in the virtual space. Ark has its own virtual sign-Ark token, which carries a monetary value.
Ark project was launched at the end of 2016. A huge team of 27 people is working on its launch and further promotion. Ark defines his mission as the proliferation of blockchain technologies among the broad masses of the population.
Note that Ark is not a traditional virtual currency. It is an entire ecosystem, a safe platform for adaptation. The company has ambitious plans: to stimulate the mass adoption of crypto money by offering those tools that will be useful and in demand by users. The new project has its own currency – ARK coin.

What is an Ark?
Ark (ARK) is a platform for consumer adoption. It is not just a cryptocurrency – it is an ecosystem meant for cryptocurrency mass adoption. Ark has a powerful core that allows transactions to take place with an eight-second block time. In addition, full decentralization is a distinctive feature of the project. Ark is also working to ensure anonymity[1].
Features Ark does not end there. The project also uses its own Smart Bridge technology, which allows Ark to communicate with other blockchain technologies.
In addition, a large number of tools from this project are being developed, the purpose of which will be to distribute not only its own cryptocurrency but also digital money in General.
ARK Launched ARK Deployer which works as a graphic tool to create own Blockchain with using programming languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, Swift iOS and more.
To explain more easily than good Ark, we list its advantages:
- decentralization and anonymity;
- high-reliability level;
- a decent level of protection;
- the universality of its currency;
- constant work on the development of new services and tools.
However, Ark’s drawbacks also exist:
- there is always a chance of losing your investment;
- the possibility of hacking;
- the lack of security of electronic money, which greatly complicates the prediction of the further development of coins.
To be honest, these disadvantages apply not only to Ark but also to other cryptocurrencies.
