Hi @outfitsoul, each project has a different proposition. The Rise proposition remains the same
as it was since the ICO, which in a nutshell is to develop a dapp (decentralized application) platform
with multiple code language support, asset token creation, smart contracts, user-friendly dapp builder
and smart contract builder tools. Ark's emphasis will be on SmartBridge Technology, Integration of
the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Smart Card/NFC and more. To get a deeper understanding
of all the differences as they will develop in the future, I recommend reading the original posts of
both projects on bitcointalk and checking out their other online resources. Thanks for the question.
