-The Qortal Project was born of the project called QORA which launched in 2014. Notice the "QORA" within the Qortal lettering in the official logo above? [[http://docs.qora.org|docs.qora.org documentaion]]+===== NOTE - ALL INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IS HERE FOR HISTORIC SAKE ONLY, NONE OF THE QORA PROJECT REMAINS IN THE CURRENT VERSION OF QORTAL, AND ONLY THE 1% BURN OF QORA TO QORT BLOCK REWARDS IS ACTIVE. THE BLOCKS GIVEN TO QORA FORGERS ARE BEING NULLIFIED IN QORTAL CORE VERSION 5.0 (TENTATIVELY) AT WHICH POINT NONE OF QORA WILL REMAIN. ALL OF THE CODE FROM QORA HAS BEEN RE-WRITTEN, AND THE ONLY SEMBLANCE OF THE OLD PROJECT THAT REMAINS NOW, ARE A FEW TRANSACTION TYPES, IN NAME ALONE. =====

-However, since the takeover, many things have been modified in terms of overall goals. As of now, the Qortal Project will have the functionality of both QORA2 and QORT (the original concept of a truly Decentralized Trading Platform). Thus, making Qortal an all-in-one platform with capabilities well beyond that of any existing blockchain system! +https://qora.tech/
  
-By combining the ideas of the trade portal with the decentralized application hosting aspects of QORA, Qortal aims to be the most decentralized and scalable platform in existence. Virtually any public or private applications can be built on the chain, therefore, encouraging everyone to come together rather than having any need to compete. The system will reward every contributor to the network based fairly on their level of contribution.+[[http://docs.qora.org|docs.qora.org documentaion]]

-Qortal will be an economic system comprised of these values, with automated decentralized governance, contribution-based rewards with voting weight. Qortal could dramatically change the world's economic systems by not only merging them into a singular global system, but also providing complete transparency, state-of-the-art security, and honesty behind 'the system' that 'runs the world'. +

-Should there be complete transparency to the world's 'system' and sovereignty for every person in it?  +

-The development team currently leading the Qortal Project believe that the answer is yes!

-Anyone who decides to, can be part of the network where they are rewarded for as much effort as they put in and gain influence in said network accordingly; gaining both a fully transparent weighted vote on all proposals for the future of the system as well as a fair amount of block rewards shared properly with all participants. +

The codebase was a spider webbed mess of code and not friendly for scalability in terms of how it could be designed for developers. Next, the chain itself was already bloated with the on-chain data hosting design as well as an over-inflated amount of 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 removing the Proof of Stake (PoS) that QORA had, as Qortal’s ethos frowns upon PoS which allows money to buy power over the network, and Qortal is all about egalitarianism. We actually aim to never support any PoS systems. 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.
