-Why did QORA need to be rebuilt? The codebase was a spider webbed mess of code and not friendly for scalability in terms of how it could be designed to onboard new developers easier. Next, the chain itself was already bloated with a terrible on-chain data hosting design as well as an over-inflated amount coins. To be frank, there were several reasons why QORA was not feasible to build off of. When the current team took over the abandoned project by its founding team, the realization quickly came that QORA needed a complete rewrite and overall redesign. Hence, Qortal! So basically all of the cool ideas were adopted, expanded upon, and so much more added to the master plan than QORA had conceived. Especially no Proof of Stake (PoS) which QORA wasand Qortal’s ethos frowns upon, as PoS allows money to buy power over the network, and Qortal is all about egalitarianism. Meanwhile all of the terrible design flaws of QORA were casted out, with a total rebuild of the codebase into something with real potential. A fair QORA:QORT transition was made for those who invested in QORA. +Why did QORA need to be rebuilt?

 Qortal's end goal is to achieve a core system of complete singularity, full ownership by each user, and total decentralization. There are limitless possibilities within a platform such as the concept of Qortal which enables EVERYONE TO BE IN FULL CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS.  Qortal's end goal is to achieve a core system of complete singularity, full ownership by each user, and total decentralization.
