The newsroomyou own.
For independent crypto reporters.
Your archive, your sources, your research. On hardware you control, not a platform that could be cut off tomorrow.
Delivered in 14 days · Set up in under 10 minutes
A one-person newsroom runs on rented infrastructure.
Every tool an independent crypto reporter uses, someone else holds. That's a fine arrangement until it isn't.
Your archive lives on someone else's account
Google Workspace, Notion, Dropbox. Every draft, every interview, every document you've gathered. A policy change or a wrong dispute resolution and it's gone.
Your sources talk to you through their platforms
Signal, Telegram, email. Metadata logged. Servers subpoenable. Your sources took a risk reaching you. They deserve better than that.
Your distribution can be deplatformed
Crypto coverage has been demonetized, suspended, and shadow-banned by every major platform at one point. Your archive shouldn't depend on staying in their good graces.
The Ark replaces the parts of your workflow that don't need to be rented. Drafts, interviews, source documents, and contact graph all live on hardware you possess. End-to-end encrypted comms. Nothing for a third party to log, hand over, or be compelled to produce.
Your archive on hardware you control
Drafts, interviews, source documents, research files. AES-256 at rest. Available over an encrypted tunnel from anywhere. Nobody else holds a copy.
Source comms that don't leave a trail
End-to-end encrypted messaging and file transfer through your Ark. Contact graph stays on the device. No third-party server logging who reached you when.
An identity nobody can deplatform
Your Ark needs no phone number, no email, no account tied to your real name. Your tooling can't be suspended because there's no account to suspend.
Anonymous source intake
Sources connect to your Ark without providing an email, phone, or any identifying information. The Ark requires no identity to use, from either side of the conversation.
Collaborator access, revokable
Bring on an editor or co-reporter for a single investigation. End-to-end encrypted sharing between Arks. Access can be revoked per collaborator at any time.
Encrypted off-device backup
Every Ark ships with a free encrypted backup disk. Your archive stays recoverable even if the primary device is lost.
