Technology
How QuarryChain works.
Delegated Proof of Stake. EVM-compatible. Built for scale.
Consensus
Delegated Proof of Stake
Step 1
Freeze & Gain Power
Stakeholders freeze QRY tokens to gain Quarry Power — the voting weight that determines influence in the network.
Step 2
Vote for Miners
Community votes to elect 27 Quarry Miners through time-based voting. No insider control, no foundation override.
Step 3
Produce Blocks
Elected miners produce blocks in 3-second rounds. 100,000 transactions per second. Energy-efficient by design.
Step 4
Earn Rewards
Both voters and miners earn block rewards. Stake more, earn more. The network rewards participation, not hardware.
Comparison
Why DPoS wins.
Side-by-side with PoW and PoS — QuarryChain's Delegated Proof of Stake delivers on every metric.

Token Standards
Two standards. Full compatibility.
QRC-10
System Tokens
System-level tokens for bandwidth and energy on the QuarryChain network. Native to the protocol layer.
QRC-20
Smart Contract Tokens
Fully ERC-20 compatible. Launch tokens using the standard developers already know.
