ARK 2025 Consensus Summit Concludes — Dr. Ippolito Unveils Treasury Transfer Proposal
Seoul, Korea, October 21st, 2025,
The ARK 2025 Korean Community Consensus Conference concluded with great success, gathering over a thousand DAO citizens and ecosystem partners from across South Korea to witness a defining moment in ARK Civilization’s journey toward decentralized co-governance.
Held under the theme “Let’s Code the Future · Build the Ark of Civilization,”
the event symbolized the dawn of a new era — one where algorithms define order, and consensus defines civilization.
Community Energy Unleashed · Consensus Spirit Ignites the Opening
The conference opened with remarks from Mr. Kwon, a representative of the Korean community,
who stated:
“ARK is not merely a protocol — it is a civilizational experiment. Through our collective actions, we’re proving that governance can be achieved by citizens, and trust can be safeguarded by code.”
An opening film, Algorithmic Non-Stablecoin V3: The Vision, revisited the evolution from OlympusDAO to ARK DAO, highlighting the philosophical and structural leap from speculative finance to algorithmic civilization.
The atmosphere was electric, as community representatives and educators took the stage to share their reflections on DAO autonomy and governance.
Dr. Carmelo’s Keynote: From Experimental Protocols to Civilizational Systems
As a global pioneer in decentralized finance theory and modular protocol architecture, Dr. Carmelo, Chief Architect of ARK DeFAI, delivered the keynote speech titled “V3 On-Chain Central Banking Mechanisms and the New Wave of Algorithmic Finance.”
He examined the journey from OlympusDAO’s foundational (3,3) concept to the evolution of ARK V3, explaining how the lessons of past experiments inspired a system capable of self-regulation, transparency, and adaptability.
“Olympus gave us a model of belief,” Dr.Carmelo said. “But it still relied on emotional consensus. ARK transforms that belief into institutional logic — a system where the protocol itself knows when to mint, when to buy back, and how to balance itself.”
He emphasized that ARK is not “just another DeFi protocol,” but rather “an intelligent civilizational system — one that learns, evolves, and co-governs.”
This intelligent framework, powered by ARK’s five economic modules (EM, RBS, YRF, MCL, RCM) and an AI-driven governance engine, creates a closed-loop ecosystem connecting finance, governance, education, and creative economy.
“True consensus,” Dr.Carmelo stressed, “is not born from hype — it’s built on transparency, responsibility, and civic awareness. ARK makes algorithms the fair executors and citizens the rightful governors.”
Major Announcement: Treasury Multi-Signature Authority to Be Delegated to the Community
At the end of his address, Dr.Carmelo made a major announcement:
ARK DAO will soon propose a new governance initiative to delegate Treasury multi-signature authority to the community.
This proposal marks a historic step toward fully decentralized Treasury governance, where DAO citizens will vote to elect nine multi-signature members responsible for overseeing Treasury operations, buybacks, and fund allocations with complete transparency.
“This is more than a technical transfer of authority,” Dr.Carmelo said. “It’s a reconstruction of trust. The Treasury must not belong to a team — it must belong to the civilization itself.”
The announcement was met with overwhelming applause, symbolizing the community’s readiness to take collective responsibility for ARK’s financial sovereignty and on-chain governance.
A Turning Point for ARK Civilization · The Power of Consensus Awakens
The event concluded with applause and a grand photo session, as participants celebrated a shared sense of unity and purpose.
The Korean community’s passion and organization showcased to the world that: Consensus can arise organically. Governance can operate autonomously. Civilization can evolve on its own.
“This is a turning point in the awakening of ARK Civilization,” said Dr.Carmelo. “From this moment forward, consensus truly belongs to its citizens.”
Future Outlook · Expanding the Global Co-Governance Civilization
As of today, ARK DeFAI has established citizen communities across dozens of countries and regions, spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America — forming a cross-cultural, multilingual alliance of decentralized citizens.
Looking ahead, ARK will continue advancing its AI × DAO co-governance model, launching key initiatives such as the decentralized lending system (ARK Loan), the AI model marketplace (ArkLand Modules), and the citizen education platform (ARK Academy) — laying the foundation for a civilization that can self-evolve, self-balance, and self-sustain.
The voyage of ARK Civilization has only just begun.
