Description
Ark Labs is a Bitcoin-native technology company founded in 2024 to build layer-two and programmable-finance infrastructure based on the Ark protocol. Its flagship product, Arkade, extends Bitcoin's UTXO model to support offchain execution, batched settlement (VTXOs), native asset issuance (Arkade Assets), and programmable spending conditions such as escrow, holds, and conditional capture, positioning Bitcoin as a neutral settlement layer for stablecoins, payments, lending, and autonomous/AI-agent commerce. The company ships open-source developer tooling including SDKs in TypeScript, Golang, and Rust, the Fulmine Lightning/Ark wallet daemon, a reference Arkade Wallet, and a BTCPayServer plugin, and has partnered with organizations such as Boltz, Breez, BullBitcoin, LayerZ Wallet, and Lendasat. Ark Labs serves fintechs, brokerages, asset managers, wallet providers, and financial institutions looking to build programmable, self-custodial financial products on Bitcoin. The company has raised a total of $7.7M, including a $5.2M seed round backed by Tether, Ego Death Capital, Epoch VC, Sats Ventures, Contribution Capital, and Anchorage Digital, following an earlier pre-seed round backed by Draper Associates, Fulgur Ventures, and Axiom Capital.Grant Funding
