ARK, a Cross-blockchain communication ecosystem announced their highly awaited MainNet upgrade Core v2. It will be officially launched on 28th of November 2018.
As per reports, the Core V2 codebase is developed from scratch after relentless testing and fine-tuning, it will act as a backbone for the ARK Blockchain.
From the start, the team’s goal has been to be as accessible and scalable for custom blockchains as WordPress is for custom websites, and when coupled with ARK’s interoperability features creates the perfect ecosystem for interconnected plug-and-play chains.
Under the new architecture, nearly all aspects of the ARK code base could be modified, extended or replaced quickly and easily. This approach would allow Blockchain developers maximum flexibility in aligning their bridge chains to reflect their requirements.
On 28th Nov, the ARK team will install the new Core to the main servers. As this is a Hardfork, everyone who wants to run a node will need to replace their old deprecated ARKNode code with ARKCore.
As the transition happens, users might experience small downtimes but the new Core will be much easier to integrate, plus by default comes with a JSON-RPC plugin (which a lot of exchanges use), so implementation will be easier and hassle-free.
For now, the focus will be to monitor and address any issues or bugs. After that Core v2.1 will go under development. The next major release for ARK is due for a release in early 2019.
Core v2.1 will bring in new transaction types such as timelock, updated multi-signatures, multi-payment support, increase size for SmartBridge field from 64 to 256 chars and will allow “Push.Button.Blockchain.” to fully shine with cross-chain interoperability options.

Blockmanity’s Take
Ark is ending this year on a high with major upgrades and release of additional products. The transition might result in a downtime for a few days but the transition is necessary for further ease of development in the future.
