🔹Quantum (QTUM) – Predicted price for February 2019: $82
What is Quantum (QTUM)?
Quantum (QTUM) is an open source, a decentralized project that aims to capitalize on the success of Bitcoin while competing for the Decentralized Application (DAPP) and Smart Contract market. The goal is to work with industry partners, and launch the first Value Transfer Protocol (VTP). This will streamline daily business routines, and allow for easier adoption. Qtum aims to become the platform with Smart Contracts that execute as part of an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO).
On the one hand, the Qtum blockchain uses the UTXO model (unspent transaction outputs, or a set of unused transaction outputs), along with this, a virtual machine for smart contracts on the analogy with Ethereum is built in over the Qtum blockchain. Thus, the Qtum blockchain combines the proof-of-work consensus and the smart contract technology.
The Qtum Foundation Company that is implementing
the project is located in Singapore and was founded by Patrick Dai, the developer of the Chinese origin.
