Qtum is a smart contract platform that uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to validate transaction blocks and provide security assurances. It uses Bitcoin core as the base of its network for security and stability reasons and thus operates via a UTXO model. The project has also integrated Ethereum's virtual machine (the EVM) so that the chain can run Turing complete code needed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Qtum's stack includes a middleware layer, called the Account Abstraction Layer (AAL), to ensure compatibility between the UTXO set and the smart contract execution layer. The Qtum native token (QTUM) allows users to pay transaction fees, participate in network security, and vote on protocol upgrade proposals.

Introduction

Qtum (QTUM) is a hybrid blockchain platform that merges the strengths of Bitcoin and Ethereum, providing a versatile and efficient infrastructure for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2017, Qtum bridges the gap between Bitcoin's secure UTXO transaction model and Ethereum's flexible smart contract functionality. By combining these two elements, Qtum allows developers to deploy Ethereum-compatible dApps on a more secure foundation. Its unique Account Abstraction Layer (AAL) further enables seamless integration, making it an attractive platform for developers familiar with the Ethereum ecosystem.

In recent developments, Qtum has expanded beyond its traditional role. In April 2024, the project announced a strategic shift from being a crypto mining operator to embracing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This transition, spearheaded by Qtum’s leadership, involves the launch of "Quantum AI," which integrates blockchain with AI tools such as ChatGPT-like dialogue models (Qtum Solstice) and AI-based image generation (Qtum Qurator). This move represents a new direction, combining decentralized blockchain solutions with emerging AI capabilities, aiming to create a robust platform for innovation across multiple sectors.

Additionally, Qtum continues to maintain compatibility with Bitcoin’s evolving infrastructure. In April 2024, the team announced that the latest version of Qtum's code is compatible with Bitcoin Core V25.0. This ensures that Qtum benefits from the latest security and technological advancements while continuing to build on its unique hybrid architecture.

Qtum's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism supports faster transactions with lower energy consumption compared to traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) models. It also integrates on-chain governance, allowing community stakeholders to vote on protocol changes and upgrades. These features, combined with ongoing enhancements, make Qtum a reliable, adaptable, and forward-looking blockchain solution for developers and enterprises alike.
