ARK.io History
The ARK Public Network, also known as the “ARK mainnet” first came online on March 21st, 2017. At that time, 125 million ARK was created in a genesis block.The genesis delegates created to initialize the network were quickly replaced by live delegates who acquired community support in the form of votes and began securing the network. Shortly thereafter, block rewards were initialized in the protocol, rewarding forging delegates each time new transactions entered the ledger. The ARK mainnet operates independently of the ARK business entity, which simply releases code that the ARK mainnet delegates choose to either accept or reject. On the 28th of November 2018, the ARK mainnet upgraded from the now deprecated V1 codebase to the newly developed V2 codebase introducing a multitude of improvements to the network, developers, and end users. ARK is among a very small group of teams in the blockchain space that has developed an entire blockchain based on experience of the founding members to address real-life business needs and expectations, rather than simply forking and modifying someone else’s code. Recently they tweeted out that ARK.io 30 July Announcement will a huge!
