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.
