What is Qtum and How Does It Work?
Qtum is a blockchain platform that launched in 2017, designed to bridge the gap between Bitcoin’s proven security model and Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities. Founded by Patrick Dai, Qtum was created to address the limitations of existing blockchain platforms by combining the best features of both Bitcoin’s UTXO model and Ethereum’s Virtual Machine.
The platform uses a unique Account Abstraction Layer that allows Ethereum smart contracts to run on a Bitcoin-style blockchain infrastructure. This hybrid approach enables developers to build decentralized applications while benefiting from Bitcoin’s security and Qtum’s Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which is more energy-efficient than traditional mining.
