Smart Contract PlatformProof of Stake (PoS)Made in China

Qtum is a decentralized smart contracts platform that utilizes a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, allowing node operators to earn rewards for validating transactions. It is governed through a decentralized governance protocol, enabling community members to vote on network parameters. Built on a Bitcoin core fork, Qtum combines features from both Bitcoin and Ethereum to support smart contracts and decentralized applications. The platform uses Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model and provides a Turing-complete blockchain stack.

The project was co-founded by Patrick Dai, Neil Mahi, and Jordan Earls, with a team comprising individuals from both the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities, as well as professionals from notable companies like Tencent and Alibaba. Qtum's crowdfunding campaign raised a total of approximately $15.7 million, distributing 51 million tokens to the public and allocating the remaining supply among community incentives and early backers.

Risk Report

Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.

Track record score 94 out of 100. Qtum has been live for 9.3 years, with no regulatory actions and no historical incidents found in public records. Agent research also raised 2 additional concern(s), which is reflected in the score, but the overall history remains strong compared with many crypto assets.

Developer health score 31 out of 100. While GitHub activity indicators show 1,187 stars and 407 forks, recent execution looks weak with 0 commits in the last 4 weeks. Contributor base is moderate at 30 PR contributors. The "norecentcommits" flag is consistent with the low score, suggesting limited short-term development momentum.

Network security score 67 out of 100. The chain is 9.3 years old and has 0 historical incidents on record, which supports stability. However, economic security is lower at 22, and there is no hard supply cap, which can introduce inflation risk. Circulating ratio is high at 98% of total supply, which helps with distribution transparency, but supply mechanics still weigh on the overall network security score.

Social and behavioral score 56 out of 100. Public social accounts are verified, but audience analytics show limited visibility (TW, TG, and RD linked) and no social analytics snapshot was available for influencer signals. Agent risk signals include 1 allegation and 1 bad press, with 0 regulatory issues and 0 incidents. The presence of scam allegations found explains the middling score, despite generally clean incident and compliance signals.

Adoption and liquidity score 44 out of 100. Daily trading activity is relatively modest at about $8.2M, and the market cap tier is shown as 0 for this assessment. On the positive side, exchange listing data indicates 56 CEX listings (27 green-trust), which can improve access and liquidity depth. Still, the low daily volume keeps the score from being stronger.

Inherent crypto risk: Even with a moderate overall safety score, Qtum can still face typical cryptocurrency risks such as regulatory uncertainty, liquidity fluctuations, and market sentiment swings. The low developer health score driven by no recent commits adds operational risk, while the lack of a hard supply cap can affect long-term token value dynamics through potential inflation.
