QuarkChain Shard 6 is an EVM-compatible mainnet shard, Chain ID 100007, delivering high-throughput, low-cost transactions and one-step cross-shard interoperability, secured by QKC.
QuarkChain Shard 6 is an EVM-compatible mainnet shard secured by the QuarkChain root chain and uses QKC for gas. It targets low-cost, high-throughput smart contracts for DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and micropayments, benefiting from sub-cent average gas fees, second-level block times, and capacity that contributes to QuarkChain’s multi-shard throughput in the thousands of TPS. On-chain activity varies by shard, but Shard 6 is typically uncongested compared with monolithic L1s, keeping fees stable for frequent bridging and swaps.
Shard 6 stands out through QuarkChain’s two-layer sharding: native cross-shard transactions with a single account and liquidity, EVM tooling per shard, and security anchored to a root chain. Versus L1 networks like Ethereum, it delivers seconds-level block speed, markedly lower average gas cost (often fractions of a cent), and higher aggregate throughput via horizontal scaling across shards, while maintaining fast cross-shard finality for dApps.
QuarkChain 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 Shard 6, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QuarkChain Shard 6 as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
