An EVM-compatible shard of QuarkChain delivering high-throughput, low-fee transactions via multi-shard architecture and native cross-shard transfers, using QKC as the native currency.
QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 is an EVM-compatible shard on the QuarkChain mainnet (native currency: QKC) used by developers to deploy and test scalable dApps, cross-shard transfers, and bridge flows. It is optimized for fast, low-fee experimentation and pilots, with typical ~10s shard block times, hundreds of TPS intra-shard capacity, and sub-cent average gas costs (actual values vary by load and QKC price). Activity is developer-oriented, so congestion is generally lower than major L1s, enabling predictable execution for testing and early production.
Unlike monolithic chains, QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 operates within an elastic multi-shard architecture coordinated by a root chain, enabling native cross-shard transactions without external bridges while preserving full Ethereum tooling. Performance scales horizontally (public demos >10k TPS aggregate across shards; ~10s block interval per shard) and fees stay low (avg gas often a fraction of a cent in QKC), with developer-focused activity helping keep latency and costs stable. This combination of sharding-based throughput, low gas, and EVM compatibility differentiates it from typical L1 or L2 networks.
QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 uses QKC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain QKC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge QKC to QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send QKC on QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0, ensure your wallet is connected to the QuarkChain Devnet Shard 0 network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of QKC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
