Welcome to the Qortal Wiki 📖

This wiki contains everything you need to know about Qortal, from setting up your node to interacting with decentralized applications called Q-Apps.

What is Qortal?

Qortal is a decentralized infrastructure platform designed to replace the traditional internet with a truly peer-to-peer network. It offers:

• A blockchain-based governance model.
• No central authority, meaning you are in full control of your data.
• Built-in decentralized applications called Q-Apps which offer the chance to interact with the Qortal blockchain directly. There are already many Q-Apps built, such as Q-Tube, Q-Share, Q-Blog, Q-Shop, Q-Mail, and many more!
• The native QORT coin, which powers the Qortal ecosystem, allowing it to turn into a parallel economy propelled by all the Q-Apps using it for all sorts of transactions. The QORT coin also serves as a reward for the minters keeping the integrity of the network.

The Qortal Trifecta is a term used to describe the three main components of the Qortal UIs:

• Qortal Hub: The main interface for interacting with the Qortal network. It is available as a desktop application for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• Qortal Go: A mobile application for Android available as a .apk. As for iOS, it is available as a web app that can be added to the home screen of your iPhone. It allows users to access Qortal on the go, providing a mobile-friendly experience.
• Qortal Extension: A browser extension that allows users to interact with Qortal directly from their web browsers. It is available for any Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome, Brave, and Kiwi.
