Review on Ark by Fanuel PORPORTY
Ark, the ambitious and useful project to accelerate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. It is one of the only projects whose main ambition is to authorize the use of a multitude of programming languages.
Ark is a decentralized ecosystem specially designed to increase the rate of adoption of blockchain technology among users.
The project was launched in February 2017 thanks to a team of 27 people. The ARK crew, the nickname that the development team has given itself, clearly stated in their white paper that their goal was to make blockchain accessible to the greatest number by developing rapid and secure technology with services. concrete for real people.
To put it simply, the ARK crew is creating an ecosystem where individuals and business people can create their own blockchain by cloning Ark in just a few clicks. To make this ecosystem as accessible as possible, the crew focuses primarily on creating an unforgettable user experience, while allowing interoperability with other blockchains as well as the use of as many programming languages possible
The ARK crew is trying to develop 3 major innovations within their ecosystem:
1The invention of "SmartBridges". This technology will serve as a "bridge" between different blockchains, using the Ark platform as an intermediary, so that they communicate with each other.
2. Alternative programming languages. Currently, each blockchain must be coded via a specific programming language. ARK plans to ensure that as many programming languages as possible can be used on their platform, in order to allow as many people as possible to use them.
"Push Button Deployable Blockchains". Behind this somewhat barbaric name hides a very simple concept for forking the Ark blockchain. With a few clicks, it will be possible for individuals or companies to duplicate the Ark blockchain and use it for personal needs.
Pros
- Willingness to make blockchain concrete for people in everyday life.
- Pleasant user interface.
- Creation of SmartBridges in order to make communication between different blockchains possible.
- Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus system that should address certain Proof of Work issues.
- Fairly low network operating costs.
Cons
- The number of transactions per second is still low, less than twenty currently. However, the crew left the door open to easily increase scalability.
- The team is spread all over the world. If the developers want to debate among themselves, they will have to do it mainly remotely. This can cause a loss of efficiency.
