 Within this repository, the `basecoin` app serves as a reference implementation for how we build ABCI applications in Go, and is the framework in which we implement the [Cosmos Hub](https://cosmos.network). **It's easy to use, and doesn't require any forking** - just implement your plugin, import the libraries, and away
 you go with a full-stack blockchain and command line tool for transacting.

-# Quark
-
-Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of atoms through which DNA, life,
-and matter arise. Similarly this package is the core framework for constructing
-the atom tokens which will power [The Cosmos Network](https://cosmos.network/).
-
-The Quark framework affords you all the tools you need to rapidly develop
-robust blockchains and blockchain applications which are interoperable with The
-Cosmos Hub. Quark is an abstraction of [Tendermint](https://tendermint.com/)
-which provides the core consensus engine for your blockchain. Beyond consensus,
-Quark provides a blockchain development 'starter-pack' of common blockchain
-modules while not enforcing their use thus giving maximum flexibility for
-application customization. For example, do you require fees, how do you
-want to log messages, do you enable IBC, do you even have a cryptocurrency?
-
-Disclaimer: when power and flexibility meet, the result is also some level of
-complexity and a learning curve.  Here is an introduction to the core concepts
-embedded in Quark.
-
-## Inspiration
-
-The basic concept came from years of web development.  A number of patterns
-have arisen in that realm of software which enable people to build remote
-servers with APIs remarkably quickly and with high stability.  The
-[ABCI](https://github.com/tendermint/abci) application interface is similar to
-a web API (DeliverTx is like POST and Query is like GET and `SetOption` is like
-the admin playing with the config file). Here are some patterns that might be
-useful:
-
-* MVC - separate data model (storage) from business logic (controllers)
-* Routers - easily direct each request to the appropriate controller
-* Middleware - a series of wrappers that provide global functionality (like
-  authentication) to all controllers
-* Modules (gems, package, ...) - developers can write a self-contained package
-  with a given set of functionality, which can be imported and reused in other
-  apps
-
-Also, the idea of different tables/schemas in databases, so you can keep the
-different modules safely separated and avoid any accidental (or malicious)
-overwriting of data.
-
-Not all of these can be pulled one-to-one in the blockchain world, but they do
-provide inspiration to provide orthogonal pieces that can easily be combined
-into various applications.
