***2019 has come to an end and with it another very active and short month on the development front. This month was short due to holidays and time off. We would like to thank everyone that continues to be a part of our ecosystem through their contributions.***

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](https://bounty.ark.io/) and our Tier 0 program at [https://ark.io/projects](https://ark.io/projects).***

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*’.
