1. Explain in your own words what an ICO is?

We can define ICO as:
"An initial coin offering or ICO is a new way for companies to raise capitals through cryptocurriencies."
Companies create digital tokens or coins, and sell it to investor in exchange for cash or more likely cryptocurriencies, usually Ether or Bitcoin. Let say I want to set up a bussiness that makes money from my videos.Instead or issuing shares to investors, I will be creating my own digital token.Let's call it XEcoin. Thats what investors will be buying during my highly-anticipated ICO.People who buy my digital token can either trade them for other types of curriencies or use them on my platform once it's up and running.With XECoin you gain exclusive access to my videos.

What is Ark:

The ark platform was launched in 2017 with a infrastructure derived heavily from bitshares crypti and lisc in 2018.It released a 2nd version of the arccore blockchain with a revamp code and many other improvements.
Ark differs in its approach by not only providing a platform that is open source but also allows developers to create their own blockchains with ease.

Ark aims to bring blockchain technology to any wanting to use the technology. They aim to do so by building a decentralized ecosystem on their platform for do-it-yourself blockchain development.

Ark presents itself as an all-in-one blockchain solution. The platform link various chains and allows them to be customized for a broad range of use cases. Ultimately, Ark wants to become the most flexible solution for real-life problems that can be solved by blockchin technology while also making blockchain developments easy and understandable.

The Ark cryptocurrency is mined using a delegated proof of state consensus. the node operators who want to become forgers have to pay 25 Ark to register in the node's selection voting and from there only the top 51 nodes are allowed to create blocks on the system.

the Ark digital currency is accepted on a variety of cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance and Coss and trading pairs include Ethereum and Bitcoin as well as fiat curriencies like USD and Euro.
So,these are some highlights about the ARK platform.

That's all about today's task. Hopefully all of you will like my this post.
