ARK Ecosystem and Rewards

Marketed as "The WordPress of Blockchains," the ARK Ecosystem combines all the benefits of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology into a convenient package. ARK's goal is to eventually bridge the gap between other cryptocurrencies and form a seamless transactional network.

ARK delegates maintain the servers that power the ARK network. Transactions that are sent on the ARK network are received by delegate servers and processed into blocks and added to the ARK blockchain. Each time a delegate forges a block, the network generates 2 ARK, which delegates typically share with their voters.

Voter rewards and distribution is calculated at the block level, which we like to call true block weight, or TBW. A voter's reward corresponds to the amount of ARK they have in their wallet voting for a delegate relative to all other votes for that same delegate by other voters. The more ARK you have in your wallet, the more ARK you typically receive each time a block is forged.
