What this is
Layer-1 blockchainARK is a 2016 blockchain platform from the first altcoin wave: delegated proof-of-stake, 51 delegates and a focus on launching your own chains easily. Its main idea was SmartBridge — links between different blockchains long before interoperability became a fashionable topic. The project survived two cycles and a full architecture rebuild, yet stayed niche: an application ecosystem never grew around it. The ARK token is the network's gas and staking asset. A long-liver without loud news.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
