Qtum is a blockchain platform that launched in 2017 to bridge two worlds: the security model behind Bitcoin and the smart-contract flexibility of Ethereum. It was founded by Patrick Dai and set out to combine the strengths of both rather than pick a side. It does this with an Account Abstraction Layer that lets Ethereum-style smart contracts run on a Bitcoin-style base. The chain uses proof-of-stake rather than mining, which keeps it more energy efficient, and its design leans towards mobile wallets and features aimed at business use. QTUM is the native token. Holders can stake it to help secure the network and earn staking rewards, pay transaction fees, take part in governance, and interact with the decentralised applications built on the platform.
