What is Ark?
Ark is a project offering an in depth set of tools that make it easy to create an ecosystem of blockchains that can work with each other, and it's all open source so available for anyone to leverage blockchain technology for their project.
Ark's network is secured by 51 delegates which underpin, secure and maintain ARK's Public Network using a DPoS consensus mechanism. Ark's efficiency and speed is maintained by eight-second block times and its networks of interoperable Bridgechains enable the ecosystem to scale efficiently without slowing down.
