The fifth month of the GitHub Development Bounty (August 1st to 31st) is now complete!

Our development community continues to push amazing pull requests, innovations and ARK related projects — and we at ARK are truly proud of the hard work you do. We’ve seen some fantastic stuff during August (like ARKKit by sleepdefic1t, opening many doors to developers). This month has seen a significant increase in the number of developers contributing to the ARK ecosystem — proof we are expanding with our community based development progress.
