Qtum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that combines Bitcoin’s secure UTXO transaction model with Ethereum’s smart contract functionality. Launched in 2017, Qtum enables developers and enterprises to build scalable decentralized applications (dApps) and leverage blockchain technology for finance, supply chain, and other real-world use cases.
Qtum was developed to solve the limitations of existing blockchains. Bitcoin offers high security but lacks programmability, while Ethereum supports smart contracts but uses a less secure account-based model. Qtum merges these strengths to deliver a secure, flexible, and scalable platform suitable for dApps, enterprise applications, and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions.
$QTUM is the native token of the Qtum blockchain, powering its ecosystem with multiple uses:
ICO launched raising $15.6 million to fund hybrid Bitcoin-Ethereum blockchain development.
Mainnet went live, enabling real transactions and smart contracts.
Ignition update improved network stability and incorporated Bitcoin Core v0.14 features.
Unveiled x86 virtual machine prototype, expanding smart contract flexibility.
