ArkPad-C Progress Update
This week marks a significant achievement in our ArkPad-C project. Finally, we have successfully completed the casting of our final spar and finished welding our floater rings which will provide most of the buoyancy to the seastead. Aside from other essential tasks that are important in building and assembling our floating structure, we have also been busy preparing our launch site. Currently, we are building a lightweight and buoyant bamboo scaffolding which we will use in connecting and facilitating the transportation of the ArkPad to its home – the ocean. This development signifies both progress and dedication to the successful execution of the ArkPad project. We are enthusiastic about our progress, and we look forward to the next stages of our endeavor. Follow us for more updates!

Stead Tokens
After months of relentless development We are finally ready to show the world our new DeFi platform designed to push forward the Seasteading movement! Stead will start as a platform to provide funding here in the Philippines for small time fishermen and aquaculture businesses, but we are giving pre-approval for Seasteaders to receive funding from this platform to build their own seasteads, even in other countries.
Stead can unlock a new world of possibilities. By providing capital through cryptocurrency to the unbanked in developing countries, it is not only creating a financing option for the floating real estate seasteaders desire, but serving also a higher purpose in bringing economic opportunities to those who otherwise would never be able to expand their small business.
Each floating property carries its own NFT (Non-Fungible Token) for secure ownership tracking on the blockchain. This will serve as a sort of title of ownership that can be used across borders and in other regulatory environments.
If you have questions, kindly let us know in the comments. To join our waitlist and receive news when Stead is ready to launch, please go to https://Stead.Builders

ArkPad Projects
This week marked the successful completion of our second spar and floater ring for the ArkPad-C prototype. Alongside this primary project, we are in the final stages of blueprint preparation for our Hexafarm. Simultaneously, we are developing a blockchain-based funding platform specifically designed for seasteads. Additionally, we've recently acquired an island-hopping boat in Boracay Island, which will serve both for water tourism and as passenger transport once the construction of our ArkPad prototype is completed.

Concrete Spar Update
Construction Update
This week, we have successfully completed our first of 5 spars for the ArkPad-C. With our innovative seasteading cement formula, the concrete spar underwent the curing process without experiencing significant cracks or damage. Additionally, the welding process for our floater ring is nearing completion. This crucial component will contribute the majority of the buoyancy required for our ArkPad. To ensure safety, the floater ring will be filled with foam blocks, so if it were to spring a leak in the future their would be no way to flood the buoyancy chambers.

ArkPad: Hexafarm
Our Hexafarm will be built in large part from renewable materials like bamboo. By incorporating walkway segments, it will be able to bend over the tops of large waves without sustaining any damage. As a result, we can confidently deploy the Hexafarm at greater distances from the coastline, surpassing the capabilities of conventional fish cages. For a more comprehensive understanding of our Hexafarm, please watch this video.

ArkPad Construction Update
ArkPad Construction Update
Our construction site in Boracay, Philippines is now ready for the actual construction of our ArkPad-C! We have obtained all of our equipment, and about half of our needed materials. In a few weeks, we can finally begin building our floating restaurant!
This video gives a brief overview of how we will build the Spar of our ArkPad-C. Spars are the thing that holds everything else out of the water. In order to make it, a very large steel formwork will be used where we will put all our floatation materials and pour our Seasteading Cement. Once all the pouring is done, it will be cured for 7 days. After 7 days, it will be subject to additional curing outside the formworks and then be available for use.
Watch the video to see what it looks like.

Floating City by ArkPad
Floating Cities
Human habitation has always been limited to land. This is no longer the case. ArkPads are capable of forming fully autonomous floating cities that can produce their own electricity, fresh water, food, and internal network, and thanks to Starlink will now be capable of supporting web based businesses. Floating real estate will be more beautiful, desirable, and affordable than anyone could have expected.
ArkPad has finally obtained coastal property on which to build our prototype floating house, and we will start sharing video next Thursday of ongoing construction!

Connecting Floating Communities with Tensegrity
This week, we will talk about Tensegrity.
Tensile integrity or floating compression describes a system of isolated, compressed components within a network of chords that are under tension.
For ArkPad, we believe that this principle can allow the seasteads to connect together, which may benefit the future of floating communities.
For our floating structure, we will use Tensegrity to connect ArkPads together while still allowing the city structure to bend and flex, on the other hand the tensegrity arms will also act as shock absorber to disperse impacts from large waves or ship strikes.
Watch this video to learn more about Tensegrity and how we will incorporate it with our floating community.
Some clips were taken from Steve Mould’s “Tensegrity Explained” video, watch his full explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o

Improved Wooden Scale Model
In the past week, we worked more on our Wooden Scaled Model. We improved how it looks and put it in another stress test wherein two individuals were on top of the platform, the result that we got was promising as the structure tended to move less than our previous simulation. We also put concrete blocks on one side of the platform to test how it will tilt, and as expected, the tilting was very minimal which is a good sign for ArkPad's stability. Lastly, on our previous test, we saw some twisting motions acting on the spars that we could negate with additional sway bracing, so we connected additional cables and saw a noticeable improvement.
Let us know what you think.
Follow us for more updates, ArkPad is working on a lot of projects right now and we can't wait to share it to everyone.

ArkPad C: Wooden Scale Model
We have recently completed our wooden scaled model of the ArkPad-C.
This model was used to simulate the assembly of our structure as well as stress test it by placing excessive weight on the platform. We learned a lot about how to assemble a structure like this in the water, and got some ideas for changes we will make in the near future.
Watch this video to see how it went!
