An EVM-compatible shard of QuarkChain, Devnet Shard 6 provides high-throughput, low-cost cross-shard transactions and security via a root chain, using QKC as gas.
QuarkChain Devnet Shard 6 is an EVM‑compatible shard that mirrors QuarkChain mainnet parameters and uses QKC for gas, making it ideal for deploying and load‑testing smart contracts, bridges, and cross‑shard dApps before going to production. For comparison, expect seconds‑level shard block times, multi‑thousand TPS network capacity when aggregated across shards, sub‑cent gas per transaction under typical dev traffic, and generally lower activity than production shards (actual figures vary with load).
It’s unique for native, trustless cross‑shard transactions coordinated by a root chain, so moving assets and contract calls across shards doesn’t rely on external bridges and keeps near single‑shard cost/latency. Compared with monolithic L1s and many rollups, QuarkChain Devnet Shard 6 pairs Ethereum‑tooling compatibility with horizontal sharding for parallel execution—translating to faster confirmations (seconds), cheaper gas, and higher throughput under load while preserving mainnet‑grade security.
QuarkChain Devnet Shard 6 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 6, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QuarkChain Devnet Shard 6 as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
