Crypto Overview
Background
ARK is a blockchain platform designed to provide a flexible, scalable ecosystem for creating interoperable blockchain networks. The project aims to simplify blockchain deployment and development through its 'all-in-one' blockchain solutions.
Intended Utility
ARK's primary purpose is to serve as both a platform token and a medium of exchange within its ecosystem. The token is used for network operations, governance, and as a means of value transfer between different blockchain networks built using ARK's technology.
Actual Utility Assessment

ARK is actively used for: Cross-chain communication via SmartBridge technology, Network governance and validation through Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), Payment for network services and transaction fees.
Token Distribution and Governance
