CoinCheckUp
Conclusion
I would give QuarkChain a B- rating. QuarkChain is a very technical project. It is very similar to Zilliqa however it is said to be more advanced then Zilliqa. They are building the project to be able to work on mobile phones since there are over 4 billion people with mobile phones in the world. They are using sharding technology to provide faster more secure transactions. They will offer only one private key for all your shards which is not something that currently exists. There seems to be quite a few innovative things that QuarkChain is doing. The team is smallish but has quite experienced people. The CEO has worked for both Google and Facebook and clearly understands what he is doing. However they do not have any announced or confirmed partners so we don’t know who believes in them. They do not have much information about themselves other then the whitepaper and an interview. This project is still very under the radar and is not out yet. At this point I think it would be smart to own a little bit but wait to see if there are any major connections after the ICO before buying a big amount.
