Overview
ARK strives to overcome the challenges of dealing with blockchain technology by creating solutions that address a variety of use cases. It reduces the industry's requirement for Smart Contracts by using custom transactions, logic, and numerous programming languages.
The ARK Core Framework was created to make blockchain technology more accessible to developers. The ARK Core, which works as the backbone of an ARK-based network, handles peer-to-peer operations, ledger database maintenance, API access, custom business logic, and more, is included in this framework.
The Generic Transaction Interface (GTI) is a feature of the ARK Core Framework that allows developers to design unique transaction types that run on a customized blockchain and fit the developer's desired use case.
