Qtum
Blockchain Infrastructure
An open source, decentralized project that aims to capitalize on the success of Bitcoin, while competing for the Decentralized Application (Dapp) and Smart Contract market
Features
- Compatible with Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems: * Solidity and EVM are used for developing blockchain applications, existing Ethereum applications can be ported to Quantum’s Blockchain) * Directly integrating the existing Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into Bitcoin’s UTXO model, allowing for Ethereum-based smart contracts to be executed on a Bitcoin-based Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) blockchain - Value Transfer Protocol can be used to support and enhance various industries such as the financial sector, supply chain tracking, internet of things, and social media - "Go Mobile" strategy: the core developers of Qtum will work to ensure that third party developers have ample infrastructure and functionality to support mobile use cases (a mobile wallet, API, and a framework for creating decentralized mobile applications) - A modular design approach can help developers better maintain the system.
Technical Details
Qtum has been created by forking Bitcoin’s source code and adding various custom modules to integrate the EVM. Qtum proposes a series of innovations in blockchain technology and implementation: - a UTXO model based smart contract platform - a flexible consensus (Proof-of-Stake) mechanism for public and permissioned chains - the Master Contract concept, identity management through smart contracts. Qtum is secured by the Proof-of-Stake 3.0 (POS 3.0) consensus protocol.

Total supply is 100M coins and the inflation rate is about 1% per year (this may be slightly changed when they release the mainnet, but the inflation rate will be kept low). Distribution: - 80% of the tokens will be eventually allocated the community; - 20% will be allocated to the foundation initiator, early backers, and the development team. Ownership of tokens refers to the right to use the Qtum DApps and the blockchain. |
