The Team

ARK is not merely a technical protocol, but a cross-disciplinary civilization experiment, supported by core members and advisory systems from various fields including blockchain, artificial intelligence, digital governance, and institutional investment.


Morgan Crest Web3 Foundation | ARK Civilization Co-builder

Morgan Strategic Fund was co-founded by top private investors from Silicon Valley in collaboration with Morgan family legacy members. The fund focuses on frontier research and strategic deployment in Web3, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Sovereignty Economy, backed by deep capital resources and global vision.

The fund is committed to supporting protocol-based organizations and AI intelligent architectures with long-term value and technological breakthrough potential. It has become one of the first co-building partners in ARK civilization construction.

  • Role Positioning: Beyond providing financial support, the fund deeply participates in ARK's protocol governance design, economic model optimization, and AI control framework construction.

  • Core Contributions: Providing intellectual and strategic resources, establishing solid foundational support for the "stability and predictability" of ARK's on-chain governance system.


Carmelo Ippolito | Decentralized Governance and Incentive Mechanism Theorist

Carmelo is one of the early theoretical architects of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Autonomous Organizations (DAO). He deeply participated in the first-generation design thinking of Olympus DAO and promoted the practical implementation of modular governance and digital sovereignty concepts. His research covers:

  • Treasury Management Design

  • Incentive Curve Evolution

  • AI-Assisted Governance Systems

  • Modular DAO Governance Philosophy

Currently serving as a member of the ARK Co-building Committee, he contributes his unique system-building capabilities and model philosophy to help ARK establish a comprehensive set of:

"Self-evolving, self-balancing, self-propagating" intelligent governance systems.
