Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)
Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.Seasonal Chart
Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.ARK Markets
ARK Historical Data
About ARK (ARK)
ARK is a Layer 1 blockchain built with ARK Core, an open-source protocol written in TypeScript. The public ARK Network uses delegated proof of stake, with elected delegates forging blocks and processing transactions.
ARK Core and the public chain
ARK Core is the open-source software behind the ARK Network. The project describes it as a modular Layer 1 protocol, with customizable transaction logic and a TypeScript codebase. The public network is one deployment of ARK Core. Developers can also use the software as a starting point for application-focused blockchains. This distinction matters because a feature in the software does not automatically mean every ARK-based chain has deployed it.
Delegates and block production
The public ARK Network relies on delegated proof of stake. Addresses vote for delegates, and delegates with sufficient vote weight become eligible to forge blocks. ARK's documentation records a delegate registration transaction, including a delegate username, so network participants can identify the block producer. This system differs from proof-of-work mining: block production is assigned to elected delegates rather than to miners competing with hash power. Delegates and voters therefore occupy different roles in the network.
Transaction design and fees
ARK Core documents transaction types for ordinary transfers, delegate registration and multipayment. A multipayment can combine payments into one blockchain transaction, reducing the need to broadcast a separate transaction for every recipient. ARK Core also supports dynamic fees, allowing delegates to set fees for transaction types. Fee settings and transaction support depend on the running network software, so the protocol documentation and active network version should be read together.
ARK's interoperability idea
ARK's ecosystem whitepaper describes SmartBridge as a design for communication between ARK-based bridgechains and, in a separate model, chains using different protocols. The paper also describes bridgechain registration through the ARK mainnet. These details explain the project's historical interoperability architecture; they should not be mistaken for proof that every proposed bridge or integration is currently deployed. The live status of an integration needs its own current documentation.
Supply, activity and risks
ARK's official website presents the public network as running through 51 validators and reports network activity counters, including blocks, transactions and created wallets. Those counters can change, so they are not fixed tokenomics. ARK is used within the network for transfers and fees, while market price and trading volume are separate market observations. Users should also distinguish the public ARK Network from independent chains built with ARK Core, because their rules and operating status may differ. The ARK website separately presents ARKVault for asset management and ARKConnect for connecting identities with applications. These are ecosystem tools, not consensus rules. Its public-chain delegate model and the broader ARK Core codebase should therefore be described as related but distinct parts of the project.

ARK (ARK) FAQ
What is the current price of ARK (ARK)?
ARK's quote is $0.1621 in the current market snapshot. ARK Core is an open-source TypeScript Layer 1 protocol, but its software design does not set the coin's market value. FMchart combines exchange quotes and converts the composite series to USD.
What is ARK used for?
ARK is used on the public ARK Network for transfers and transaction fees. The network uses delegated proof of stake, where addresses vote for delegates who forge blocks. ARK Core can also be used to build separate application-focused chains, so not every ARK-based chain necessarily follows the public network's exact rules.
How much ARK is in circulation?
The circulating amount reported for ARK is 200,024,626 ARK. The public network uses delegated proof of stake, and its block rewards are separate from exchange-market activity. Circulating supply describes tokens counted as available in the market; it is not a direct measure of network activity or validator participation.
What is ARK's all-time high?
For ARK, the recorded high is $10.22; its date is Jan 9, 2018. The ARK Ecosystem Whitepaper describes SmartBridge communication between ARK-based bridgechains and other protocols. That design identifies an interoperability goal from the project's documentation. SmartBridge remains a documented design in the ecosystem whitepaper.
How has ARK performed over time?
FMchart's composite history begins on the date shown in the chart and converts exchange prices to USD. The ARK Ecosystem Whitepaper describes SmartBridge communication between chains. That series can start later than the project's own launch and does not measure the age of its software or community.
How does ARK work?
ARK's public chain records blocks signed by delegates. The documentation includes a delegate-registration transaction with a delegate username, which helps identify a block producer. This is a different process from proof-of-work mining, where miners compete using computational power to produce blocks.
Does ARK support staking or governance?
ARK uses delegated proof of stake rather than a conventional proof-of-work mining process. Addresses vote for delegates, and delegates with enough vote weight become eligible to forge blocks. A token holder's voting role is distinct from the delegate's responsibility for block production and transaction processing.
What makes ARK different?
One defining ARK design is its modular ARK Core software, written in TypeScript. The official site presents ARKVault for managing assets and ARKConnect for connecting identities to applications. Those tools belong to the broader ecosystem; they should not be confused with the consensus mechanism used by the public ARK Network.
What are the main uses of ARK?
ARK Core documents multipayment transactions, which can bundle several payments into a single transaction. Its transaction documentation also describes dynamic fees that delegates can set by transaction type. These features are useful when explaining how the protocol handles transfers, but their presence does not guarantee a particular fee or confirmation time.
What risks should readers understand about ARK?
ARK's ecosystem whitepaper describes SmartBridge as a way to communicate across ARK bridgechains and, in a separate design, chains using different protocols. That document is historical, so a specific bridge integration should be checked for current deployment status. Network upgrades, wallet security and liquidity are separate risks.
