Qortal aims to provide truly decentralized blockchain functionality through a codebase written from scratch, supporting scalable infrastructure for various revolutionary new concepts.
The goals of Qortal are: 1) to rebuild the internet as we know it, 2) to establish a fair, global, trustless crypto economy, and 3) to provide the world with a much-needed and truly democratic approach to handling some of the most commonly used services.

Qortal has its own token, QORT, which can both power services on the chain and serve as a digital currency.
Qortal aims to create alternative infrastructure for the new internet, with one particularly important feature being that e-commerce stores can host their websites on-chain and accept QORT as a payment method.
