Ark is a pretty interesting cryptocurrency to say the least! It aims to basically connect different blockchains using their proprietary "Smart Bridge" technology but, I'll get into that in a bit. I can see this token becoming a massive asset to this entire crypto community we all are apart of, one way or another.
Ark is on the bleeding edge of blockchain tech, compared to other platforms in development, I would say Ark although being less than a year old, is actually very close to launching "Push-Button Blockchains." We'll for the sake of this post, and my fingers call them PBB. This PBB concept is basically a series of simple steps, ie. pushing buttons, to quickly and easily deploy a "Smart Bridge" compatible blockchain via the Ark Platform.
Now, most coins, like Ethereum with it's solidity, Stratis with C#, and Lisk with Javascript, basically only use one language to actually be able to develop with their respective platforms. Ark on the other hand, actually has several languages implemented to interact with the Ark Platform. Some of those are: Python, Javascript, GO, and the .NET framework. This offers a lot more options for developers and hobbyists alike to make tools to interact with the main Ark chain or their own sidechain. They're constantly adding new languages to open up the range of developers. (If you're a dev they also have some hefty bounties on their GitHub)
Now to talk about this "Smart Bridge" concept. It's basically the technology behind linking different blockchains. The Ark Platform's goal is to create a community of "bridged" side chains, basically creating a web of unthinkable amounts of use cases. The "Smart Bridges" are secure and fast, aswell as scalable!

All of this combined is a recipe for success, with their strong leadership and focus on usability. It's only inevitable that within the coming years, we will witness something amazing that has never happened before!
