The blockchain you’ve been waiting for.
Q combines the benefits of a
public, open and decentralized ledger with the transparency of enforceable private contracts. Whether you want
to interact with other businesses, build decentralized applications or simply send and receive tokens:
Q is for you.
The Q White Paper explains the basics of Q. Learn about Q’s What, How and Why.
Read the white paperThe Q Constitution defines Q’s governance. Read the rules that make Q unique.
Read the rulesThe Q Repo documents how Q works ”under the hood”. Go here to start building on Q.
Start building on QWith Q, you can easily create smart contracts and applications.
Q combines the benefits of public, decentralized ledgers with governance frameworks that have been tried and tested in established legal systems.
Q’s economics enable instant scalability and long-term sustainability, independent of speculation and inflation subsidies.
Q runs on state-of-the-art base layer technology that integrates seamlessly into the evolving crypto ecosystem.
Q mainnet and testnet are live and operational. We suggest to start playing around on testnet. Please check our
testnet documentation and
tutorials.
For serious business, head over to our mainnet right away.
You will find the mainnet documentation here.
On Q testnet, this is easy: use the faucet. We are currently preparing the public listing of the Q mainnet token. Stay tuned!
Of course! There are three different types of nodes within Q protocol:
Validator nodes play a vital part in Q’s consensus mechanism. They validate transactions. In return
they receive rewards. Find detailed instructions on how to set up a validator node here.
Root nodes are the guardians of the Q constitution. They are an integral part of Q’s governance
framework. Interested in becoming a root node? Start here.
Full
nodes monitor the network but they don't sign blocks. Thus, they don't actively contribute to
the Q consensus, but nevertheless help to stabilise the network.
Q enables developers to program smart contracts and build decentralized applications. Since Q is fully EVM compatible, you can use the Solidity programming language. To start developing with Q, go here.
As a Q token holder, you are an active participant in the system. You can propose changes and vote on proposals submitted by others. To learn how to participate in Q’s governance, go here.
Q experts support Q by setting system parameters. Do you have relevant knowledge and skills? If so, volunteering as a Q expert might be a great role for you. Join the discussion or learn more here.
