> Quai Network is a set of EVM-compatible blockchains that achieves 50k+ TPS without compromising decentralization.

Welcome to this month’s Quai update! We are excited to share the progress and milestones achieved in July as we continue to prepare for the Golden Age Testnet release. Here are the highlights of this month’s activities:

Core Team Update

  • Milestone Achieved: The core team successfully ran an isolated Qi test for 2 days straight without any crashes! Next week, we will focus on testing Qi/Quai/ETXs/Conversions together to assess network performance.
  • Antithesis Progress: We are getting closer to running tests in Antithesis with the full setup and exporting tests to stats for evaluation.
  • Achievements:
    • Successful isolated Qi test.
    • Defined final feature set for Golden Age/Mainnet.
    • Unblocked Quaiscan indexing issues.

 FAQs page here.

Technical Fixes for Qi State Trie

Updates on Recent Fixes for Qi: We identified a critical issue with the state trie experiencing an “ice age,” where the merkle trie became progressively slower with too many entries, similar to issues faced by Ethereum, BSC, and others. This was accelerated with Qi due to its UTXO scheme, causing the read/write times to exceed block times.

Solution Implemented:

  • State Rent + Pruning on Qi Trie: This reduces the state size and keeps read/write times within block times.
  • State Fee Scheme on Quai: Prevents excessive state growth and maintains performance.

These measures ensure our TPS remains optimal and prevent long-term state issues. This fix was necessary ahead of the Golden Age to maintain the protocol’s longevity and scalability.

TL;DR: The bottleneck was state. We fixed it. Onward.

Development Progress

go-quai Client:

  • Continued bug fixing and performance tuning since becoming feature complete.
  • Focused on stabilizing features for the Golden Age Testnet.

Quais SDK:

  • Achievements:
    • Updated Quais by example for smart contract deployment.
    • Fixed several bugs and released version 1.0.0-alpha.7.
  • Upcoming Milestones:
    • Implement BIP47 for efficient Qi transaction processing.
    • Improve integration test suite and documentation.

Pelagus Wallet:

  • Achievements:
    • Addressed security issues and prepared for developer release.
  • Upcoming Milestones:
    • Integrate Qi and claims page for Quai and Qi signing.

Quaiscan (Blockscout):

  • Achievements:
    • Migrated to Quai infrastructure.
    • Set up new DNS at quaiscan.io.
  • Current Focus:
    • Finalize indexing for Qi, Quai, ETX, and load testing Blockscout.

New Faucet is Live

We are excited to announce that the new Quai Network faucet is now live! You can access it here. This faucet is connected to our public node.

To use the faucet, you’ll need a premium X account. If you don’t have one, don’t worry! The faucet will direct you to join our Discord for future social campaigns where we will distribute testnet Quai to participants.

We’re still adding a few final touches, including a notification system that links to QuaiScan so you can track your transactions, and ensuring all social links are correctly set up. We encourage you to try it out and share your feedback!

Cheers to progress and innovation! 🛳️ 🫡

This article discusses how Quai Network addresses the limitations of current cryptocurrencies by introducing a scalable, programmable Proof-of-Work blockchain with the first decentralized energy dollar (QI). It details Quai’s dual token model, hierarchical blockchain structure, and dynamic sharding, which enable superior security, scalability, and decentralized economic incentives. For more details, visit the full blog post here.

Quai Network FAQs

The FAQs page provides answers to frequently asked questions about Quai Network, covering topics like technology, dual token model, mining, scalability, and the benefits of using Quai. These FAQs help users understand the unique aspects of Quai Network and its advantages. For more detailed information, visit the full FAQs page here.

Security

All Quai Network blockchains are braided together, keeping the entire network censorship resistant and secure creating Scalable Proof-of-Work.

Decentralization

Quai allows anyone to participate in network governance by running a node or miner. With thousands of participants distributed across the globe, there is no single party with the ability to modify or turn off the network, ensuring zero network downtime.

Scalability

Quai Network automatically expands with demand to upwards of 50,000 TPS while keeping fees under $0.01.

Consensus

Transactions in Quai Network can be locally confirmed prior to global confirmation, offering high throughput with the shortest possible time to economic finality.

Shared Security

All blockchains within Quai Network share Proof-of-Work security through merged mining. Every Quai transaction is eventually confirmed by 100% of network hash power.

Merge-Mined Parachains

Parachains inherit security and interoperability by merged mining with Quai Network, and create new incentives for miners and users.

The Prime Chain

The Prime blockchain acts as the "knot" tying all Quai Network chains together. The Prime blockchain braids sub networks together, facilitating the transfer of data across chains.

Sub Networks

Quai's many high-speed sub networks independently and asynchronously process transactions. All sub networks are braided together by the Prime chain, ensuring shared security and interoperability across the network.
