We are actively contributing to research regarding execution, security, and storage on Ethereum, coinciding with the continued growth in web3:// (ERC-4804) adoption. These activities are directly aligned with our vision of a Super World Computer. Instead of stopping at execution scalability, we are designing a comprehensive decentralized system. This end-to-end approach ensures that security, execution, and data access are all natively decentralized.

OpenSea has formally adopted support for the web3:// protocol, known technically as ERC-4804.
Currently, a vast majority of non-fungible tokens rely on off-chain frameworks for interpretation and access. The risk here is significant: if those intermediary layers cease to function, the asset itself becomes effectively lost to the user.
To counter this, ERC-4804 establishes a native mechanism for resolving NFT metadata straight from Ethereum. This innovation eradicates the need for DNS, gateways, or other centralized points of entry. The QuarkChain team originally introduced and promoted this standard specifically to resolve this enduring deficiency within Web3.
For QuarkChain, this development is in perfect harmony with the vision of the Super World Computer. This concept envisions a system wherein decentralization goes beyond mere execution to encompass the actual access of data and applications, resulting in a stack that is decentralized from end to end.
Support for the web3:// protocol, designated as ERC-4804, has been officially implemented by OpenSea.
At present, the majority of NFTs depend on off-chain infrastructure for users to access and interpret them. Unfortunately, if these external access layers cease to function, the assets themselves become unreachable. ERC-4804 addresses this by establishing a native mechanism for resolving NFT metadata directly through Ethereum, effectively eliminating the need for DNS, gateways, or centralized access points.
The QuarkChain team originally proposed and developed this standard to bridge this specific gap within the Web3 ecosystem. This advancement fits perfectly with the vision of the Super World Computer held by QuarkChain. It promotes a system where the principles of decentralization extend beyond simple execution to encompass the access of data and applications, thereby creating a truly end-to-end decentralized stack.
OpenSea has officially integrated support for the web3:// (ERC-4804) protocol. A significant vulnerability for many existing NFTs is their dependence on off-chain infrastructure; if these external access layers fail, the assets effectively become inaccessible. By enabling metadata resolution directly through Ethereum, ERC-4804 removes the need for centralized gateways or DNS services. The QuarkChain team initially advanced and proposed this standard to resolve this persistent issue in Web3. For QuarkChain, this achievement is a key component of the Super World Computer vision, establishing a fully decentralized stack where the method of accessing data and applications is just as distributed as the execution layer.
The QuarkChain team has just completed a new study examining how different Block Access List (BAL) architectures influence EVM throughput with I/O integration. We observed that a Full BAL model delivers approximately 13.9 GGas/s, while the Parallel I/O BAL model reaches about 10.8 GGas/s. This demonstrates that it is possible to maintain 78% of the throughput while reducing the BAL overhead to just 33%. These findings prove that EVM execution speeds of 10+ GigaGas/s are viable with considerably smaller BAL requirements, moving high-performance EVM solutions closer to launch.

Geth v1.16.8 fixes a high-impact remote DoS bug at the Ethereum p2p layer.
Our team published a short technical breakdown of the issue — from the ECIES decryption panic to a minimal PoC — and why upgrading matters for network liveness.
The QuarkChain 2025 Annual Summary has been released.
2025 served as a defining year in which QuarkChain aligned more deeply with #Ethereum and successfully transformed the Super World Computer (SWC) from a vision into reality.
From our milestones in Layer 2 development, web3:// decentralized access, and core Ethereum research, to our engagement with the global ecosystem — here is a concise overview of what we have built and learned.
In 2025, QuarkChain experienced a pivotal moment. The vision of the Super World Computer began to manifest tangibly through coding, research, and implementation.
Looking ahead to 2026, further developments are on the horizon, all thanks to the support of our community. 🙏
It's fantastic to witness @LidoFinance offering insights on the significance of contract code size within the framework of Glamsterdam, the forthcoming Ethereum upgrade.
Lido emphasizes that Glamsterdam requires a solution that is not only predictable but also user-friendly and ready for immediate implementation.
This is precisely the objective of EIP-7907, which has been collaboratively developed by @qc_qizhou of QuarkChain and Charles Cooper (@big_tech_sux).
EIP-7907 proposes to replace a fixed gas ceiling with a more dynamic gas metering approach, which effectively aligns gas expenses with actual resource consumption. This adjustment maintains security while alleviating unnecessary obstacles for applications that are approaching the 24KB threshold.
I eagerly anticipate further conversations as Glamsterdam evolves.
