ARK Development Report — November 2019

November has come to an end and with it another very active month on the development front. We would like to thank everyone that continues to provide to the betterment of the ecosystem through their contributions on all fronts.

The ARK Monthly Development Report covers all pull requests (opened, closed, merged) as well as all issues opened and closed in every ARK Ecosystem public repository, the number of contributors during that month, the number of new stargazers and total lines of GitHub code added or deleted. This info is presented here in a concise one-page blog.

Get involved with ARK development and participate in our bounty program at https://bounty.ark.io/ and our Tier 0 program at https://ark.io/projects .

We are also running a special Core v2.6 bounty that can net you up to $100 just for reporting issues, to learn more *<strong>read this blog post</strong> .

You can track this weekly data directly on GitHub by opening the repository of interest, clicking on ‘issues’, and opening the latest ‘Weekly report digest’.
