Quark

Quark is an ABCI application designed to be used with the Tendermint consensus engine to form a Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency. It also provides a general purpose framework for extending the feature-set of the cryptocurrency by implementing plugins.

Quark serves as a reference implementation for how we build ABCI applications in Go, and is the framework in which we implement the Cosmos Hub. It's easy to use, and doesn't require any forking - just implement your plugin, import the quark libraries, and away you go with a full-stack blockchain and command line tool for transacting.

Prerequisites

Install and setup Golang.

Installation
