QuarkChain Multi-layer

The QuarkChain ICO (QKC Token) is raising funds toward a multi-layer, peer-to-peer transaction blockchain. The first layer of system contains shards, while the second layer is comprised of a root chain. The architecture of QuarkChain is predicated on finding a balance between security, scalability and decentralization.
Over recent years, decentralized blockchain technology has been completely revolutionizing every aspect of the economy. Over and over again, they are taking on new areas of industry and have been progressing further and further into the communications and technology industries.
And, as this world’s financial trade volumes continue to increase, current blockchain applications cannot meet the needs of the global economy. Overall, the ambition of blockchain projects is to optimize scalability, without compromising on decentralization or security.
QuarkChain is hoping to be able to offer a solution to growing customer demands and increased transaction volumes within the blockchain ecosystem. They are an up and coming innovative blockchain network that is gearing themselves up to meet the needs of the increasing global trade volume while implement certain features that make them a one of a kind type of project.
QuarkChain will provide a decentralized solution to the problem that is both secure and scalable. It is poised to be capable of delivering over 1 million on-chain TPS.
