This document provides an overview of the Qtum cryptocurrency and blockchain platform. It discusses that Qtum is a hybrid of Bitcoin and Ethereum, leveraging the UTXO model from Bitcoin and implementing Ethereum-style smart contracts using a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. The document outlines Qtum's features such as its account abstraction layer, decentralized governance protocol, mobile capabilities using SPV, and its multi-wallet ecosystem. Global node distribution and markets for trading Qtum are also summarized.

5. What is Qtum
 QTUM is the hybrid of bitcoin and ethereum
 Qtum developers took bitcoin core’s code and changed its consensus
mechanism from pow to pos
 implemented ethereum’s EVM over the modified bitcoin code base
 They have also stuck with the ethereum virtual machine with a proof-of-
stake consensus because businesses around the world prefer to use a
POS model for their enterprises

For the 294,000 blocks :

10. Go-Mobile
 The purpose of Go Mobile is to be a platform that enables the use of
decentralized applications on mobile devices
 utilizing the SPV protocol of Bitcoin’s UTXO model
 no need for a user to download a whole blockchain
10

11. Spv protocol
 Qtum allows smart devices to sync with the blockchain network
without the need of becoming a full node
11

12. x86 Virtual Machine
 Qtum x86 VM is to provide smart contract developer the support of
various mainstream languages and relevant tools
 will support C, C++, Rust, Python and other widely used programming
languages
 facilitating mainstream adoption of smart contract development
