Exploring what’s possible with Arkade.
There’s still a lot to build, and we’re just getting started.

Added in-wallet swaps on testnet.
Updated the UI for a cleaner, smoother experience.
Improved dApp connectivity and transaction approval flows.

Arkade (@arkade_os) has integrated DIA’s signed BTC/USD price feed. Contracts on Arkade can now verify DIA’s price directly when they settle, with no smart contract, bridge or relay in between.
A loan needs a price to know when to liquidate. An option needs one to know what it owes at expiry. Bitcoin Script has no native way to read a price, and builders worked around it with pre-signed outcomes, multisig escrows, or by moving BTC to other chains.
On Arkade, the collateral stays on Bitcoin and the price check happens inside the contract. DIA sources feeds from 100+ exchanges and aggregates them onchain, on it's own rollup 'Lasernet'. Designs can combine several signers and settle on the median.
Ark Labs is starting with options. Lending, protection and liquidity designs build on the same signed price.
Arksat Wallet v1.0.30 Released
- Improved balance refresh after sending and receiving funds.
- Fixed missing transaction records and improved history synchronization.
- Fixed outdated balances and transaction records appearing after switching accounts or networks.
Bitcoin. Faster with Arkade.

600 years ago, a handful of contracts let money move across Europe without moving coin. Modern financial institutions grew around them.
Today, Bitcoin moves anywhere, at will, but the contracts that put it to work have not caught up. Outside the largest venues, most income, protection and financing products are still built one provider at a time, in fragmented silos and bilateral deals.

Modern contracts are coming to Bitcoin.
Define the logic in a high-level language, compile it, and call the contract from your app.

We're thrilled to share that @ColeMacro, CEO of @Strive, will join us for Capital Sessions in Lugano on 21 October.
Strive has more than doubled its Bitcoin since January to 27,000+ BTC, much of it funded by SATA, its daily-dividend preferred stock.
A unique opportunity to tap into the mind of one of the most innovative operator in the space.

On October 21 in Lugano, we're opening the hood.
Arkade has changed a lot under the surface lately. At Builder Lab you'll see what's ready, how it fits together, and what's next.
Building on Bitcoin is getting fun again. Come see for yourself 👾

Applications are turning into markets.
Digital assets have expanded the range of financial services available, but access remains fragmented across providers, assets, and networks.
Intents turns payments and exchange into an open market, giving applications a common interface to access and compete across providers.

Update: Boltz will stay disabled until further notice.
Our API remains available to process refunds cooperatively. In any case, unilateral refunds will work, as they do not depend on our infrastructure.
Our support team stays reachable.
To be clear: this is not a response to a single incident. Over the past months we have seen a steady rise in automated, AI-assisted probing of our infrastructure, and we have dealt with several exploits. Each was contained, but the pattern is clear: attackers now iterate faster than a team our size can find and patch. In the past few days alone we saw a drastic acceleration, and we do not believe this asymmetry will reverse. After reviewing the results of our own recent security scans, we cannot responsibly re-enable Boltz swaps, especially as we are being actively targeted by what appear to be multiple resourceful groups while we race to deploy fixes.
What we are seeing is a major paradigm shift for Bitcoin services operating on an open source stack, and it needs careful analysis. Do not expect swap services to resume shortly.
To be explicit: no user funds were ever at risk. Boltz is non-custodial by design. And as a fully bootstrapped company, the losses were ours alone.
We don't know yet how things will continue from here, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we have had the time to catch our breath and make a decision 🙏

A lot has shipped across Arkade in recent months.
Some updates less sexy than others, but they deserve a mention nonetheless!
Wallet-native contracts, HD wallets, seamless signer-key rotation, and portable, resumable unilateral exits.
Four updates worth catching up on 👇
ArkSat Extension Wallet now supports VTXO delegation.
Users can choose to delegate VTXO renewal protection to Arkade’s delegation service, helping avoid availability issues caused by forgotten VTXO maintenance.
A small feature, but an important step forward for the Ark wallet experience.
