Ark Labs (Arkade)

Ark Labs builds Arkade, which it describes as 'an open, programmable extension of Bitcoin' for payments, swaps and other financial products; Ark Labs' tagline is 'Bring Bitcoin capital to market'.

Arkade's documentation says users control their funds: Arkade evaluates and co-signs authorised transactions but cannot take funds or erase committed fallback paths, and it complements Lightning rather than replacing it [arkadeos.com]. A TypeScript SDK supports wallets, payments, assets and programmable contracts, while Intents is in developer preview. Ark Labs says its Options Vaults and Lending Vaults are still in development [arklabs.xyz]. The organiser lists Marco Argentieri as CEO of Ark Labs.

Organiser of Arkade Day (21 Oct, LAC). Co-founder Marco Argentieri co-hosts BitDevs Switzerland and speaks at Spazio 21. Events: Arkade Day, BitDevs Switzerland, Spazio 21.
