Integration Guide
Welcome to the integration guide for Ark. This section will help you understand how to integrate Ark into your applications and services.
Ark integrates directly without external daemons by design. Developers can interact with the protocol using standard Bitcoin-compatible infrastructure and purpose-built native SDKs in various languages. For teams seeking a faster path, Fulmine provides a full-featured daemon that exposes Ark's functionality through a high level API and a sleek UI.
Before getting started, we highly recommend familiarizing yourself with Ark's core concepts to ensure a smooth implementation.
Operator Instances
If you prefer to work with existing Ark instances, you can connect to the following live Ark Operator instances. This allows you to test your integration against a live environment without the need for a local setup.
