Hi. My names Carson. I'm the cofounder and CEO of Arkova. Arkova is building verification middleware that anchors compliance-aligned metadata (audit events, credentials, signature records) to Bitcoin, giving enterprises verifiable proofs without relying on a third party vendor

I'm a former technical project manager and blockchain enthusiast from Michigan. I love my dogs, bourbon, and all emerging tech

Arkova builds verification middleware that lets organizations anchor compliance-aligned metadata, things like audit events, credentials, and signature records, to the Bitcoin blockchain. We don’t issue tokens or handle financial transactions. Our goal is simply to provide a trustless, independently verifiable proof layer that regulators, auditors, and counterparties can rely on without needing access to a vendor’s internal system.

Across the U.S., publicly traded companies now spend over $3 million per audit, and the process can stretch on for years. At the same time, credential fraud costs the economy billions annually, driven by bad hires, healthcare licensing issues, and the administrative overhead of re-verifying information across siloed databases.

A lot of these challenges share a common root: the evidence needed to verify a claim—an audit trail, a credential, a signature—still lives inside private systems that don’t easily interoperate. By anchoring only the relevant metadata to a neutral public ledger, Arkova allows those proofs to become portable, tamper-evident, and instantly checkable, while the underlying documents and sensitive information stay exactly where they are today.
