Introducing QuarryChain

April 10, 2026·QuarryChain Team·2 min read

QuarryChain is a Layer 1 blockchain network built from the ground up on Delegated Proof of Stake consensus. We designed it to solve the problems that hold existing chains back: slow throughput, high fees, energy waste, and governance that favors insiders over communities.

What We Built

QuarryChain processes 100,000 transactions per second with 3-second finality. The network runs on 27 community-elected Quarry Miners who produce blocks in rotating rounds. No expensive mining hardware. No capital-heavy staking minimums. Just democratic governance backed by real performance.

The QuarryChain Virtual Machine (QVM) is fully EVM-compatible. If you write Solidity today, your contracts deploy on QuarryChain without modification. Web3.js, Ethers.js, MetaMask — your entire toolchain works natively.

The Ecosystem

We're building more than a chain. QuarrySwap brings non-custodial trading with AMM liquidity pools and yield farming. QuarryWallet gives users full self-custody over QRY, QRC-10, and QRC-20 tokens. QuarryScan provides transparent block exploration for every transaction and contract on the network.

What's Next

The testnet is live. The seed round is open at $0.25 per QRY token. Mainnet launch, public ICO, and the full ecosystem rollout are on the roadmap.

We built QuarryChain because we believe blockchain infrastructure should be fast, fair, and accessible. Read the whitepaper for the full technical specification.
