Ark2 Labs: a marine bio-IP platform on a verifiable ledger.
Ark2 Labs LLC is an independent joint venture focused on licensing Biosynthetic Gene Clusters sourced from the Coral Triangle and South Pacific, a marine region with some of the highest documented genetic diversity on Earth and among the lowest rates of systematic bioprospecting. ZeroChain provides the infrastructure layer: chain-of-custody, IP provenance, and licensing settlement.
Every assay result, every model inference, every license transfer, captured as a cryptographic event with full audit lineage. Compliant by construction, auditable by partners with permission.
Discovery
Coral Triangle BGCs
Bioprospecting library sourced from a marine region of unmatched genetic diversity.
Provenance
Chain-of-custody
Immutable lineage for compounds, sample metadata, and IP transfers.
Licensing
On-chain settlement
BGC license fees, milestones, and royalties recorded as native protocol events.
AI Trust
Verifiable models
Inputs, model weights, and inference outputs anchored on-chain, so partners can audit exactly what ran without accessing the underlying IP.
Privacy
Selective disclosure
Tessera private enclaves let partners verify without exposing underlying IP.
Sovereignty
Source-nation aligned
Licensing structures designed to recognize benefit-sharing with origin jurisdictions.
