Aark Digital

Aark Digital is a decentralized derivatives exchange platform that operates as a peer-to-pool perpetual DEX custom-built for professional traders. The platform features up to 1000x leverage with 0.01% trading fees, offering deep liquidity, multiple trading pairs, and cross-margin trading capabilities. As a decentralized exchange built on blockchain infrastructure, Aark Digital enables traders to access perpetual futures markets without traditional intermediaries, providing on-chain settlement, transparent order matching, and self-custody of funds. The peer-to-pool architecture allows liquidity providers to deposit assets into shared pools that traders trade against, ensuring consistent liquidity availability and reducing slippage for large positions. The platform's cross-margin trading feature enables traders to use their entire portfolio as collateral across multiple positions, optimizing capital efficiency and risk management. Aark Digital targets professional and institutional traders who require high leverage, low fees, and sophisticated trading features typically found on centralized exchanges but with the transparency and self-custody benefits of decentralized finance. The platform includes a loss payback mechanism and focuses on providing a competitive trading experience with minimal latency. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, United States, Aark Digital has raised $6.0M in seed funding from investors including Cypher Capital, HashKey Capital, Arrington Capital, Morningstar Ventures, Metavest Capital, Delphi, OKX, Big Brain Holdings, Infinity Ventures Crypto, Crit Ventures, and ArkGrow.
