Strength in Simplicity

The resonating emphasis from ARK is to keep things simple, push-button deployable blockchains and brilliantly designed wallets are all testaments to this. Much of the world doesn’t know what a blockchain is and that’s OK, most people don’t know what DNS is but they browse the internet just fine. Investors in ARK tend to appreciate that technology is no use to anyone, if it’s not being used by everyone. So with this in mind, this article introduces something to help bring this brave new world to the people, Blockport.

What is Blockport?

To compare it to something that already exists, we’d have to use Coinbase. Blockport, unlike many new exchanges appearing today, feels like it could take a significant share of the market away from Coinbase. Think simple and of course you think Coinbase because that has pretty much been our only choice. Coinbase has suffered from some negative press regarding a shady management and Bitcoin Cash scandals. The antics of companies such as coinbase have done some serious damage to the world’s view of crypto investments. Blockport aims to regain this lost confidence by creating an environment of encouragement and education within an easy-to-use exchange platform. They aim to bridge the gap between the crypto economy and the traditional world of finance.

Hybrid-decentralised

Blockport will be a Hybrid-decentralised exchange. It might not be a purist’s idea of pure decentralization but newcomers to exchanges would very much benefit from the advantages of a centralized platform (customer support and help when needed) with the decentralized features (holding your own crypto assets and peer to peer exchanges).

Investors are beginning to recognize the time for ideals (pure decentralization, anonymity etc) but they also see the advantages to centralized systems which the world already runs on, advantages such as compliance with law are becoming more and more important as we watch exchanges close due to sanctions in their countries. It is true no one government couldn’t shut down a fully decentralized exchange but those investing in ARK have an understanding that for the world to be involved in crypto, regulators need to be involved in crypto.

The Official Partnership In Summary

The partnership is solidified by a shared goal; to make the world of cryptocurrency accessible for everyone.

Blockport are poised to use the ARK ecosystem for their decentralized exchange and fund storage.

Lars Rensing, CFO of ARK will join Blockport as an advisor to strengthen the collaboration. The two teams will be working closely to find the best ways to collaborate and further their combined goals. More details regarding the content of the partnership with ARK will be communicated in February 2018.

Blockport’s Early Achievements

Social Influence:

ARK has had some issues regarding social media attention, or lack of it. At the time of writing this Blockport’s Telegram group has over 9,000 subscribers and the buzz around the project is huge. The entire project feels polished and professional. With Lars Rensing (ARK CFO) now working with the guys behind Blockport, ARK’s project should pick up some first class marketing direction.

Community Bounty (ended):

Blockports community bounty reached its limit much sooner than anticipated, this could be attributed to just how simple it was to get involved and rack up those user points, while spreading the word through social media. It was as simple as entering your email address and clicking buttons to perform the social actions. Creating such a simple UI for this purpose, seemingly filled investors with the confidence that Blockport’s exchange will be just a easy to use.
