Welcome one and all, sorry it’s been such a long time coming for an update! We haven’t been keeping you that up to date with our progress unlike in the past and with that in mind, we felt that it was about time to give everyone some more information on our future plans so buckle up!

Revival Of The Old & Inclusion Of The New

Firstly it’s important to address the welcomed changes that have occurred in the past month or so with some new delegates stepping into the fray — Lemii and Espresso have come over from Lisk and brought with them some excellent tools and a great passion to improve Ark’s services available to the community, which has been awesome to see! This should be encouraged and it is important as a community that we welcome people looking to make positive change to the Ark Ecosystem. That being said lets get into what you can expect from us:

Ark Community Digest

Many were wondering whether we were going to continue our Ark Community Digest, which featured weekly ‘interviews’ (more like a chat!) with community members and I can confirm that we have plans to bring this back to a full revival! It was a very fun segment for us to do and now with new faces it makes sense to continue the trend and put these articles back in place on the weekly agenda, so expect these soon.

The Ark Herald

What started as an idea of being a news website for Ark and the general Crypto audience, this has now morphed into a Youtube/Podcast platform where we will be creating a bunch of video content for Ark including:

  • Weekly round up videos for community updates & technical developments
  • Weekly podcasts with community guests (and maybe team)
  • Beginner guides & helpful tutorials for the community
  • TGH video updates and merch videos

‘Arkeology’ An Archaeology Themed Design

We’re happy to announce that we have a new auction / limited piece design in the making for the Ark community! After our successful limited V2 design launch back at the end of last year to commemorate the transition to the new Ark core, we felt that it was only right to keep the tradition of limited designs running and this time we’ve got a great idea for you all.

In the coming months one of Ark’s community members - Grant ‘Arigard’ will be featured in an Archaeology documentary and after discussing with him we felt that this would be a great time to show off the Ark Ecosystem by creating a design that Grant could wear whilst he appears on the documentary!

This design will be created for both clothing and wall art and could be a fun occasion to show Ark in a different medium and therefore what better than to commemorate the occasion by having a limited design run for the community to grab their hands on the design! To get a sense of how the last auction went you can check out the auction website, we must note that this time we’ll have a far better process of including more of the community and making this line more accessible!

Make sure to stay tuned for more information on this, all I can tell you is that it’ll be an Egyptian inspired piece which we know you will love.

TGH Merch Store

One of our main goals of course over these many months has been launching our merchandise store which we can happily say is very close to completion.

We’re finalising things and ensuring all business and legal procedures are in place but we’re eager to get the store released as it features some great products for Ark that really provide a nice way of showing your love for Ark!

Here’s Marc (Delegate Cryptology) repping one of our Ark Hoodies, ‘ The Serpent’s Kiss’ from our Crypto Mythos line!

Conclusion

Whilst this update was brief we hope it gives you a bit of insight into what we have been up to and what you can expect from us over the next month or two! As always you can find more updates from us on our Twitter:
