What is Quarkchain?
A lack of scalability is perhaps the biggest obstacle standing between blockchain and mainstream adoption, and there’s a long list of crypto projects focused on solving this widespread problem.
QuarkChain’s solution to the problem is based on a 2-layer architecture and employs sharding. The first layer features elastic sharding blockchains (shards), which partition large databases into smaller and more manageable components and allow transactions to be processed independently. The more shards there are in the network, the more transactions can be processed concurrently.
The second layer is the root chain. The role of this layer is not to actually process transactions but to confirm blocks from the sharded chains. The end result is "a secure, decentralized and scalable blockchain solution to deliver 100,000+ on-chain transactions per second", according to the project whitepaper.
The aim is for QuarkChain to be able to support a wide range of dapps, particularly those requiring high transaction rates, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence and large-scale games. QuarkChain also supports smart contracts to ensure compatibility with existing dapps.
QuarkChain’s native token, QKC, was launched during a May 2018 ICO and is needed to transact value in the QuarkChain system and reward miners.
