Dark Bio @dark.bio · 07/09/2026We've just published the new version of the Dark Bio: Ark Companion mobile app on both AppStore and PlayStore. - Supports pairing Ark Emulators (if you don't have a genuine device) - Supports pairing multiple devices (why settle for one when you can have 3) Emulators soon-ish™ 130
Dark Bio @dark.bio · 17/08/2026Well now, seems we'll have a way soon for everyone to play with the Dark Bio Arks; without having to actually buy a genuine Ark (would be appreciated nonetheless). 011

Dark Bio @dark.bio · 16/11/2025Our story began exactly one year ago, with a wild idea to do something nobody tried: self-sovereign genomics. A year later, that idea became a reality.
