4. Future Prospects
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
Theodore Hook
There are two main friction points with NFTs in general - gas fees and transaction speeds. How Ethereum will address these points is beyond the scope of this whitepaper, but what’s important is that upcoming Ethereum updates have huge potential to scale the platform.
4.2. Multiple Blockchains and Tokens/Coins
Presently the mQuark protocol exists only on the Polygon network. There is no reason the logic contained in the Ethereum Smart Contract cannot be ported to other blockchains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, Optimism and zk Rollups, etc.
4.3. Inheritance / Parent-Child Structure
Potential evolutions of the mQuark protocol could involve phases that give the templates more hierarchical structure. At the moment, the protocol offers limited structural scope - we have a car template, and the metaverse developer could create a collection from that template that includes attributes referring to whether it's an SUV or a Sports car.
Using concepts understandable by developers, a future phase could evolve to the protocol to use an Inheritance style of structure, where for example a Lion template could inherit the attributes from a Cat template, which inherits from an Animal template.
4.4. The Soonami App
Soonami will develop a companion app that will feature a blockchain wallet, identity management system and mQuark owners cart.

This will help customers see which metaverses have adopted their NFTs. This will allow new metaverses to gain access to new customers ready to utilise their assets.
