## About

Based in California, US, founded in 2024, AKRLabs OÜ is a provider of a layer two protocol that enables seamless payments by advancing and maintaining an open implementation of the Ark protocol while also developing products and services to drive its broader adoption. In March 2026, Ark Labs raised USD 5.2 million in seed funding from Anchorage Digital, Contribution Capital, ego death capital, Epoch, Lion26, Sats Ventures, Draper, Fulgur Ventures, Axiom Capital Group, and Tether International, S.A. de C.V.

The Ark protocol operates on a hub-and-spoke model, where users interact with a single entity known as an Ark Service Provider (ASP). This streamlined approach eliminates the complexities of managing nodes, channels, or inbound liquidity for users to send and receive Bitcoin payments. The company plans to utilize the March 2025 funding for team expansion, developer relations, and product development.
