Introduction to Qtum (QTUM) and Its Issuance Background
Qtum is an open-source Proof-of-Stake (PoS) smart contract blockchain platform designed to merge Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model with Ethereum's smart contract execution capabilities. This unique technological combination allows it to support decentralized applications (DApps) and be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), while offering the security and stability of Bitcoin's UTXO model. The Qtum platform has also recently added support for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Qtum's Initial Coin Offering (ICO) was held in March 2017, raising a total of $15 million. The Qtum Foundation, established in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, is the primary entity driving the Qtum project.
