Theoretically infinite Transactions per Second Capacity

Peer-to-Peer : All blockchains are peer-to-peer (like ledger on the torrent). Nothing new here

Transactional System : The network can be used for transactions. Nothing new here

Problem statement:

Scalability is a problem in the current blockchains.

Current solutions to scalability:

  1. Faster blocks
  2. Larger blocks
  3. Adding supernodes/masternodes to the network dedicated to validating transactions.
  4. Multiple blockchains
  5. Side-chains (Lightening network, Raiden, Rootstock, Trinity, Loom, Alpha, Hive, MimbleWimble, etc.
  6. Sharding (Oversimplified meaning : Not every node stores the whole blockchain and not every node has to verify each transactions.)

Offered Solutions:

Quarkchain also uses sharding to solve the problem of scalability. The way quarkchain is different is that -
