QuarkChain Shard 7 is an EVM-compatible mainnet shard secured by QuarkChain’s root chain, using QKC as the native gas token. It’s built for low-fee, fast-confirmation dApps—DeFi, NFTs, gaming, micro-payments—and supports native cross-shard and cross-chain bridging for efficient asset transfers. Key performance indicators: ~10s block times per shard, fees typically well under $0.01, and scalable throughput (per-shard hundreds of TPS, network-wide thousands+) depending on load and activity.
QuarkChain Shard 7 stands out by combining Ethereum-style tooling (Solidity, EVM, standard RPC) with QuarkChain’s elastic sharding, giving it its own mempool and gas market while sharing security and liquidity across shards. Compared to single-chain L1s, it delivers consistently low average gas costs, quicker confirmations (~10s blocks), and higher aggregate TPS via parallelized shards, with generally lower congestion keeping fees predictable. This makes QuarkChain Shard 7 a cost-efficient execution layer for high-throughput dApps that need seamless cross-shard interoperability.
