What is Arklet?

Arklet is a Python Django application for minting, binding, and resolving ARKs. It is intended to follow best practices set out by https://arks.org/.

Technical design notes:

• Django is the only required dependency.
• Supports each Django and Python version that is itself supported by the maintainers.
  • Tests are run against the upcoming versions of Python and Django as well.
• This repo can be run as a standalone service
• ...or the ark package can be installed as a reusable app in other Django projects.
• Arklet is database agnostic.

Arklet is developed with uv, pytest, ruff, tox, and more.

Running Locally

First steps

Create your first NAAN, Key, and Shoulder in the admin: 127.0.0.1:8000/admin

And by the way, you now host a working ARK resolver! You can already try the following ones :

• http://127.0.0.1:8000/ark:/13960/t5n960f7n
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/ark:/67375/C0X-SPWFRSGR-N
