what's Qtum?
Qtum is a hybrid blockchain platform that merges Bitcoin's proven UTXO model and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus with Ethereum's smart contract functionality via a compatible Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This design enables seamless dApp development using familiar tools like Solidity while inheriting Bitcoin-level security and scalability through features like fast block times and on-chain governance. Qtum supports token issuance, decentralized applications, and DeFi primitives on its mainnet, with tools like Qtum Core Wallet for staking and transactions. It emphasizes developer accessibility with hybrid PoS allowing low-barrier participation and features like Neutron Layer for advanced capabilities.
