Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well since our last update. Prices have been stagnating, the FOMO in the atmosphere is non-existent, and everyone is hopelessly waiting for the moment when we all “moon” to our successes. However, we mustn’t focus on the very speculation that makes many people question the legitimacy of this industry and where its heading. The reality is, that revolutionary technology and the adoption that is meant to accompany it, is all dependent on time and the efforts dedicated by the few who truly believe in the mission and overall success. Projects, such as Ark, must continue to develop, grow, and encourage everyone around them to succinctly work with you, ultimately changing the world around you.

Since our last update, I have had the pleasure of being instated as a board member of the Ark Community Fund (ACF), an organization established by the Ark Community to help create opportunities for talented individuals who are seeking funds to develop projects based around Ark Ecosystem. My experience thus far has been nothing but intriguing and rewarding. I have had the opportunity to really gauge the way some talented folks who are part of our community work to achieve their project, providing insightful ideas and tenaciously display their efforts to continuously impress. So, shout out to everyone who has provided excellent proposals to bring some awesome project ideas to life, you guys are the life blood of adoption and we will forever need more people to keep creating incredible work.

With all the talent I have had the pleasure of meeting, I am happy to announce that I have partnered up with a prolific developer who until recently began to be more involved with Ark. He is commonly known as “Jigsaw” and has extensive coding knowledge and I believe will be an invaluable asset not only to the delegacy, but also as a member of the community. To name Jigsaw’s most notable contribution for the community and project, would be his involvement in developing of the real-life Ark Faucet that was presented at the Ark NYC event and Consensus 2018, garnering tremendous popularity and creatively recreating a digital concept into a real-life use case.

Given this new development, effectively 08/19/2018, we will incorporate a new payment structure that will be fixed at 90% total voter payout. Further changes would include official release and incorporation of our website to enable us to have better access to voter data and allow a better means of presenting and managing it for our voters. Additional changes would include hardware upgrades as we believe that with the introduction of V2 will enable us to explore more potential developments concerning how the project will scale and such.

As of right now, we have officially launched our delegate website, which can be found by visiting arkdel.net. Currently, the site is operational, allowing all users and voters to visit and explore some data metrics. Such as view the price of Ark, check projected payouts using our onsite calculator, and voters can even query their pending balance by simply typing in their address using the balance tab. We hope to release further updates in the coming weeks that include the ability for voters to determine the frequency of which they would like to be compensated. While also, include the release of another public faucet, that we hope to encourage adoption and consistent use cases of the Ark token.

All in all, we are delighted and excited to present these changes and hope we can continue to count on everyone’s support that we have so graciously received thus far. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this change or simply would like to reach out to us, don’t hesitate.

Till’ next time!
