Your ARK is secured by you
Zypto App is non-custodial. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device, Zypto never has access to your ARK and every transaction is signed locally. For account access, every user sets a PIN with optional biometric security (fingerprint or face recognition). You can also filter your wallet to show only verified tokens, protecting you from random airdrops or unsafe assets. For offline hardware wallet security, pair with the Vault Key Card, card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC, keys never touch the internet.
What is ARK?
ARK is a Layer 1 blockchain and development platform built to let people launch their own customizable, interoperable blockchains. Its open-source stack is written largely in TypeScript and uses a delegated proof-of-stake consensus, where token holders vote for a set of validators who produce blocks and earn rewards for the work. ARK is the native coin of the ARK network. It pays transaction fees and is used to vote for and reward the delegates who secure the chain. The project ran its token sale in 2016 and brought its public network live in 2017, making it one of the longer-running blockchain platforms. As an established but smaller project, ARK competes with many newer app-chain and smart-contract platforms, so its relevance depends on continued development and use. You can track the ARK price and hold ARK in a self-custody wallet.

ARK wallet FAQs
What's the best ARK wallet app?
That depends on what you want to do with your ARK. If you're holding only, any non-custodial wallet works. If you want to hold, swap across 20+ chains, connect to dApps, and use crypto for real-world spending, Zypto App is purpose-built for that while still being fully non-custodial.
Is the Zypto ARK wallet non-custodial?
Yes. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device. Zypto never has access to your ARK. Every transaction is signed locally on your device before it reaches the network.
How do I spend crypto with Zypto Premium Visa Cards?
When you load the card in Zypto App, your crypto is converted into USD. Conversion happens at load, not at the checkout, so you can lock value in, avoid volatility and spend wherever Visa is accepted around the world, subject to eligibility and applicable limits.

How do I back up my ARK wallet?
During setup, Zypto App generates a 12-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it offline somewhere safe.
