Qtum Re-poster

The Qtum network is currently preparing to support $USDC through the implementation of Circle's Bridged USDC Standard. To assist with this integration, we have updated the block explorer found at http://Qtum.info to specifically display USDC volume. We plan to go fully live with these changes immediately after the last remaining audit is finished.

You can now locate Qtum information more efficiently without needing to investigate the source code, thanks to new fields we have implemented in the testnet explorer. This deployment is currently available on the testnet, and we encourage you to share your opinion on these improvements.

Unleash your creativity with the complimentary image generation platform now available at http://Qtum.ai. This tool empowers users to experiment with a variety of distinct visual styles. Best of all, there is absolutely no need to register or sign up to use the service. We are eager to hear your thoughts and feedback on the experience.

If you are seeking detailed answers regarding the technical aspects of the Qtum blockchain, we are developing a resource just for you. Our team is currently training a Large Language Model focused exclusively on this subject matter. While this project remains in the development phase, you are encouraged to explore the tool at https://qtum.ai/chat/solstice

We are introducing new data points to the Qtum block explorer at https://qtum.info which highlight the network's processing speed. These updates specifically display the transactions per second statistics. For anyone curious about the performance capabilities of Qtum, the blockchain is presently configured to support around 1200 transactions per second.

Hello Solidity developers, what are you currently working on? Permissionless chains face a discovery challenge, meaning we often learn about interesting projects far too late. If you are building something on Qtum, please send us a message. Let's discuss.

Due to high usage over the weekend, Qtum Ally is undergoing an upgrade. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We have officially surpassed 3 million addresses created on the Qtum network!

Following the halvening and hard fork in the last 6 weeks, what is next for Qtum? We have three key updates coming right up:

First, we are launching a bridge to Ethereum utilizing the @circle "Bridged USDC Standard" to introduce $USDC to Qtum, along with DeFi and MetaMask capabilities.

Second, we are performing necessary housekeeping on the https://t.co/y1vhlu0Z93 block explorer. We have operated this service continuously since 2017, and it is ready for a refresh.

Finally, https://t.co/eLLkYU17Fq is constantly improving. We are testing new models for Qtum Ally and enhancing the user experience for image generation within Qtum Qurator. You can try Qurator here:

We invite you to explore Qtum Qurator for generating images. This tool allows you to leverage the same prompt to create a picture using a variety of options.

More than 24 hours have passed since the Qtum hard fork took place, and there have been no issues. Please ensure that you update your nodes if you have not done so already:

https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases

We are just 2 hours away from the execution of the Qtum v29.1 hard fork. Key highlights featured in this update include:

• Enhanced privacy options
• BLS12‑381 precompile for ZK rollups
• Upgrades derived from Bitcoin Core 27–29
• Faster tx propagation & reduced orphans
• Support for ephemeral dust
• Implementation of the CMake build system
• Speedier & more reliable transaction handling
• Greater consistency in node behavior
• UPnP (finally) removed and replaced by PCP / NAT-PMP
• Wallets benefit indirectly, as a stronger node network results in faster, more reliable transaction propagation
• Improved Tor binding behavior

This upgrade enables highly efficient ZK-Rollups on Qtum while reinforcing the underlying encryption that secures the network. This carries significant weight, as ZK-Rollups provide powerful Layer 2 scaling solutions capable of substantially improving throughput for all types of applications. This is most notable for trading, gaming, gambling, file hosting, cross-chain bridges, and more.

Time to upgrade your node to v29.1

We are currently testing the new Qtum Metamask Snap before it gets audited.

This updated version includes:

Qtum and QRC-20 support
Gas Estimation
WIF and Encrypted WIF private key import/export
Transaction History

While these are pretty standard additions to any wallet, they represent a big improvement over the current version. We are also modifying the https://t.co/y1vhlu0Z93 blockchain to work better with this wallet so it can track $USDC transactions more effectively.

We'll have more information as it becomes available. We figure this will all roll out in a matter of weeks. The Qtum-Ethereum bridge is complete and audited, and this Snap is designed to work seamlessly with it.

Please ensure that your Qtum node is updated to version 29.1 prior to block 5,483,000.

"""
With only a few days left until the Qtum v29.1 hard fork, community support for this update has reached 64%. If you operate a Qtum node and wish to proceed with the update, please visit our GitHub page for more information:

"""

Our latest Qtum MetaMask Snap has been completed and is currently undergoing the audit process!

This upgraded version will integrate seamlessly with the Qtum bridge, facilitating the transfer of USDC onto the blockchain. We will ensure to keep you informed about the audit outcomes!

Wishing you a joyful New Year from all of us at the Qtum Team!

Here's what you can expect from the Qtum v29.1 hard fork:

https://t.co/mkkrRpnn1i

• Introduction of BLS12‑381 precompile to enhance ZK rollups
• Upgrades from Bitcoin Core versions 27 to 29
• Improved transaction propagation speed and reduced orphan occurrences
• Support for ephemeral dust transactions
• Implementation of a CMake build system
• Enhanced speed and reliability in transaction processing
• Increased consistency in node behavior
