What is Qtum?
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.

FAQ
Buying Qtum: FAQs
What is the smallest Qtum order I can place?
You can start with very little. Digital Surge keeps a low minimum on Qtum orders, so a large sum is not needed to begin. Buying a small amount of QTUM in AUD first is a straightforward way to get used to how ordering works.
How soon can I buy QTUM after signing up?
Often within minutes. As soon as your identity check clears, a PayID deposit usually arrives in under a minute and your AUD is ready to use. Placing the QTUM order after that takes only seconds at the live price.
Can I sell QTUM back into Australian dollars?
Yes. You can sell your Qtum for AUD on Digital Surge at any point and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in period, so selling part or all of your QTUM is always your decision.
Can I stake QTUM, and how does it work?
Qtum runs on proof-of-stake, so QTUM holders can stake their tokens to help secure the network and earn staking rewards. The minimum needed to stake is relatively low, which makes it reachable for most holders. Staking is separate from buying QTUM on Digital Surge.
Is buying Qtum in Australia legal?
Yes, buying Qtum in Australia is legal. Digital Surge is a local exchange registered with AUSTRAC and follows the anti-money-laundering and identity requirements set for Australian crypto platforms. This is why sign-up includes a brief verification, after which your QTUM is held in your own account.
