Imagine a world where all global economic activity occurs on a single blockchain – one that is as ubiquitous as TCP/IP, secures the majority of global value, and is accessible to everyone. Today, this vision becomes reality with the launch of Quai Network’s genesis block.
Quai Network is the first and only scalable, programmable Proof-of-Work blockchain, achieving what was previously thought impossible: genuine decentralization, uncompromised security, and unlimited scalability. With a throughput of 50,000+ transactions per second, Quai Network is engineered to be the last blockchain humanity will ever need.
The dual-token system of QUAI and QI introduces a revolutionary economic model: QUAI serves as the programmable foundation for complex financial instruments, while QI creates the first decentralized energy dollar – a true medium of exchange intrinsically linked to energy. This innovative approach finally bridges the gap between traditional finance and the digital economy.
