ARK
ARK is the protocol asset. It is the liquid token people trade, the asset users board for reward participation, and the base unit that ties the system together.
Read the token storyPublic documentation
Ark turns trading, boarding, locking, fees, rewards, and liquidity into one on-chain system.
The current live deployment uses TEST as the public mainnet reference asset. These docs explain the ARK protocol as a whole, then show the active TEST addresses and parameters that power ark.win today.

Trading uses the official Uniswap v4 TEST/WETH pool through dedicated buy and sell executors. The hook records official volume and routes hook fees through explicit on-chain routes.

Boarding converts liquid TEST into a boarded position. The user receives non-transferable bTEST plus a dTEST Pass, and the position starts earning base TEST rewards immediately.
Read board mechanicsLock
Locking converts liquid TEST into a fixed-duration vault lock. The user receives lTEST and a lock NFT, earning the locked TEST stream plus WETH-accounted fee rewards.

Harbor receives a share of WETH hook fees and periodically deploys WETH-only liquidity below spot as downside support for the official pool.

Only official Ark paths feed the protocol.
TEST remains a transferable ERC20, so outside markets can exist. The protocol treats the official v4 pool, Boarding, Vault, Fee Router, Buyback Logic, and Harbor as the canonical paths that create rewards and reinforcement.

Positioning
Ark is built around explicit participation, not hidden token taxes.
Liquid TEST can move freely. Boarded and locked TEST are the states that participate in protocol rewards. This keeps the ERC20 simple while making the official Ark routes matter.
The design combines a scarce fixed supply, official-pool fee routing, time-based reward accounting, visible exit fees, and autonomous liquidity reinforcement into a single user loop: trade, board, lock, claim, compound, exit, or unlock.
