Smart Contracts Run Inside Ticks
Every tick is a fixed unit of time where Qubic processes activity.
Inside each tick:
Transactions are grouped
Contract calls are checked
Results are validated by Computors
If 451 out of 676 Computors agree, the tick is finalized — and every included contract executes exactly as written.
It’s fast. It’s complete. And there’s no chance of forks or delayed confirmation.
