About QuarkChain Name Service (QCNS)
Portal Network provides blockchain protocols and projects with BNS standards governed by smart contracts. The QCNS which will be deployed will transform human-comprehensible decentralized website names, such as ‘yourblog.qkc’, into addresses that can be understood by decentralized network machines. By eliminating the need to copy or type a long alphanumeric address, QCNS will enhance the user experience and reduce the probability of human error. It will also empower users to send, receive, and manage their tokens with memorable QCNS wallet at ‘yourname.qkc’, and easily interact with smart contracts and dApps at ‘dapp.qkc’.

4. HintChain
The modern food industry is also facing many challenges. From the perspective of food manufacture who has been disconnected from consumers due to distribution channel and marketing. It is difficult to reflect actual needs in food planning and manufacturing process. HintChain will utilize representative technologies of smart contract and blockchain to solve food industry problems. HintChain will structuralize individual food data of consumers, and provide it to suppliers to match needs of both sides. To utilize blockchain technology for food industry, we propose the following three missions:
- Build personal food profile containing data of what food industry consumers see, eat and purchase and data of personal history which consists of series of food behavior of individuals.
- Allow consumers to have control over all data his/her own behavior and consumption related to food and eating habit. Provide compensation and data utilization if consented.
- Help consumers choosing food and offering food advice based on big data and artificial intelligence.
