Last weekend at @blockspacepod’s OP_NEXT, we demoed Arkade — a prototype wallet built on the Ark protocol, live on Bitcoin mainnet.
While just a proof-of-concept, it pointed to something bigger:
A new class of Bitcoin applications is possible today, without consensus changes.
Much of OP_NEXT focused on what soft forks might unlock. That’s important work — and we support it.
But our focus has been different:
Delivering utility with the Bitcoin we already have.
The Arkade Wallet isn’t just a teaser.
It’s a working step toward reframing what’s possible on Bitcoin — here and now.
Many so-called L2s are still theoretical.
Ark is real. It’s on mainnet. And it’s moving.
Ark isn’t a Lightning replacement.
It opens up an entirely different design space:
Modular apps, flexible coordination, programmable flows.
Arkade is more than a wallet — it’s the first look at a Bitcoin-native platform.
We’re building toward a future where Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value.
It’s the foundation for programmable money and sovereign capital markets.
The tools are open. Let’s build.
