About Blockchains
About ARK
ARK is a Modular Layer 1 Blockchain built with Javascript utilizing Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) Consensus. Powering the $ARK Token since 2017, ARK is at the forefront of the Web3 revolution.
About Polygon
Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being POL. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
