Frequently asked questions

QuarkChain Devnet Shard 1 is an EVM-compatible shard that mirrors QuarkChain mainnet settings and uses QKC as gas, making it ideal for pre-production testing of dApps, cross-chain bridge flows, and cross-shard transactions. Typical devnet performance: shard block time ~5–10s with finality after 1–2 root blocks (~10–20s), gas for a simple transfer ≈21,000 gas; at a common devnet gas price of 1 gwei this is ~0.000021 QKC, and per‑shard throughput is in the hundreds of TPS under load (devnet activity is intentionally low and spiky).

It is unique for its native sharded architecture (root chain + multiple EVM shards) that enables linear scalability and built-in cross-shard transactions without external rollups or bridges for intra-network moves. Compared to single-chain networks, Devnet Shard 1 delivers low fees (e.g., 21k gas transfers costing ~0.000021 QKC at 1 gwei), fast shard blocks (~5–10s) with quick root finality (~10–20s), and per-shard TPS in the hundreds—scaling to tens of thousands network-wide as more shards are engaged; devnet usage remains low by design to prioritize testing stability.

QuarkChain Devnet Shard 1 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 1, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QuarkChain Devnet Shard 1 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 1 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 1 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 1, ensure your wallet is connected to the QuarkChain Devnet Shard 1 network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of QKC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
