Ethereum and its layer 2 solutions are bringing its vision of the “world computer” closer to reality: a permissionless, global operating system designed to replace centralized, trusted intermediaries.
However, to truly serve global users, the world computer faces significant challenges, including high costs for validating off-chain computation, EVM performance bottlenecks, storage limitations, barriers to onboard web2 users, and reliance on centralized frontends.
We present the Super World Computer (SWC) Project: a highly customized layer 2 built on OP Stack to overcome these challenges.
QuarkChain is pioneering the Super World Computer: a fully decentralized Layer 2 blockchain designed for decentralized AI applications with unmatched scalability and security.
By leveraging gas token innovation, EthStorage’s scalable storage, the web3:// access protocol, and a fast finality fault-proof algorithm, it provides the perfect infrastructure for on-chain AI, games, and social platforms.
As a key player in the Ethereum ecosystem, QuarkChain serves as a testing ground for EVM and OP Stack advancements, setting benchmarks for the next generation of Layer 2 solutions.

We’ve completed development and testing for the initial SWC Layer 2 alpha testnet with key features such as utilizing the test QKC ERC20 token as a custom gas token and implementing the inbox contract feature within OP Stack, allowing on-chain smart contracts to validate off-chain batches. This feature also enables functionalities like a decentralized sequencer network and long-term BLOB storage through EthStorage Layer 2
We are launching the beta testnet soon, which includes EthStorage as L3 and introduces the soul gas token, a non-transferable token aimed at mass Web2 user adoption. To support EthStorage as L3, we’ve enabled BLOB transactions on OP Stack Layer 2, which is crucial for programmable storage capabilities.
QuarkChain, together with its ecosystem partner EthStorage, has secured Optimism grants for four key research areas and is closely collaborating with OP Labs to achieve meaningful advancements:
1. Research on Alternative OP Stack Zero-Knowledge Fault Proof Using WASM
2. Research and Development on Multi-Section Dispute Game
3. Extend the Availability of EIP-4844 Blobs by Integrating OP Stack
(Please note that many of these tasks are in collaboration with partners such as OP Labs, EthStorage, and timelines may be subject to change).
2024 Q3 (Finished)
We have launched our first SWC L2 alpha testnet, utilizing the test SWC ERC20 token as a custom gas token. Additionally, we will introduce the inbox contract feature within OP Stack — a capability that allows on-chain smart contracts to validate off-chain batches. This feature will enable functionalities like a decentralized sequencer network and long-term BLOB storage through EthStorage L2.
2024 Q4/2025 Q1 (Ongoing)
We are preparing to launch the SWC L2 beta testnet with new features, including EthStorage as L3 and the soul gas token. To support EthStorage as L3, we will also enable BLOB transactions on OP Stack L2, which is essential for enabling programmable storage capabilities. Meanwhile, we are performing extensive tests to meet high-standard code quality including unit tests, end-to-end tests, integration tests, and tests on devnet.
2025 H1
As our beta testnet nears maturity, we plan to launch the SWC L2 mainnet with the default fault-proof implementation. Alongside the mainnet launch, we will collaborate closely with OP Labs on upstream features, including the inbox contract and fault-proof for custom gas tokens, which are targeted for the OP Stack future upgrades. Additionally, we will introduce our advanced multi-section fault proof on the devnet.
2025 H2
Once our multi-section fault proof reaches maturity and passes auditing, we plan to deploy it on the testnet/mainnet. Simultaneously, we will launch our high-performance EVM testbeds on SWC L2.
We’ll soon host an AMA session to connect with our community, address questions, and gather feedback. Regular AMAs and other initiatives will ensure ongoing engagement.
As we approach the mainnet launch, major token metrics — including the allocation of Soul Gas Tokens — will be determined through community governance voting. Early adopters will also receive Soul Gas Token airdrops, a non-transferable token exclusively for gas fees within the QuarkChain ecosystem. This token will play a pivotal role in onboarding Web2 users and strengthening our ecosystem long-term.
Our vision for the Super World Computer places the community at the heart of everything we do. Beta Testnet is not just a technical milestone — it’s a call to action for our community to actively participate, share feedback, and shape the roadmap ahead.
To mark this pivotal moment, we are launching exciting community events to foster engagement and governance.
Join our first community event on Galxe and get involved early! Find detailed information about the event [here — Galxe article]. The total rewards pool is 5,000,000 QKC, approximately $60,000 at the current rate.
Join the Community and be part of the future web3 revolution!
