ARK

ARK is a Layer 1 blockchain platform designed to give users, developers, and startups a flexible toolkit for building and connecting blockchain applications. Its stated goal is to knit multiple independent chains together into a broader ecosystem, reducing the complexity that typically makes blockchain development difficult for newcomers. The project targets both end consumers who want straightforward digital services and developers who need adaptable, open-source infrastructure.

ARK uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism in which token holders vote for delegates — only 51 of whom are active at any time and responsible for validating and recording transactions on the network. Each vote costs 1 ARK, and holders may support one delegate at a time, making the token directly functional within the governance and security layer of the chain. The block time recorded in the data is 0.0 minutes, which likely reflects a data gap rather than an instantaneous block time, so the precise settlement cadence is not confirmed by the figures available here.

The data provided does not include a fee revenue figure or a protocol fee stream, so fee-based measures that this site might calculate for other assets cannot be populated for ARK. What is known is that voting and unvoting actions each carry a 1 ARK transaction fee, which is paid by the token holder initiating the action. Approximately 99.999 percent of the circulating supply has already been issued on a point-in-time basis, with a dilution overhang of roughly 0.000434 percent and supply pending of roughly 0.000534 percent, meaning very little additional token issuance is outstanding.
