Frequently asked questions

QuarkChain Shard 4 is a mainnet EVM execution shard secured by QuarkChain’s root chain and uses QKC for gas. It’s suited for low-cost, high-throughput dApps such as DeFi swaps, gaming, NFT minting, and micropayments; average gas for simple transfers is typically a fraction of a cent, blocks arrive in roughly single- to low-double-digit seconds, and shard-level throughput can reach hundreds of TPS depending on network load. These characteristics make it a strong target for cross-chain bridging that needs predictable fees and fast confirmations.

Shard 4 stands out with QuarkChain’s native cross-shard architecture, enabling atomic asset moves and contract calls across shards without trusted relayers, all under one account controlling addresses on every shard. Compared to monolithic L1s, it offers materially lower fees (often 10–100x cheaper than Ethereum L1), faster block cadence (single- to low-double-digit seconds), and horizontally scalable throughput (hundreds of TPS per shard with aggregate TPS scaling by adding shards), which helps keep congestion and gas spikes low. Its EVM compatibility and mature tooling let teams migrate Solidity dApps quickly while retaining the performance benefits of a sharded L1.

QuarkChain Shard 4 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 Shard 4, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QuarkChain Shard 4 as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.

To build on QuarkChain Shard 4 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 Shard 4 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 Shard 4, ensure your wallet is connected to the QuarkChain Shard 4 network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of QKC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
