What is the relationship between Qtum and Ethereum?
Qtum (Quantum Chain) Positioning: Qtum is positioned as the third blockchain ecosystem outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum, committed to combining the advantages of Bitcoin and Ethereum and enhancing compatibility.
Technical Features: Qtum realizes peer-to-peer value transfer through the value transfer protocol and supports decentralized application development platforms in multiple industries. Technically, Qtum adopts modular consensus mechanisms, such as IPOS, and is based on the two major ecosystems of Bitcoin and Ethereum, taking into account the security of Bitcoin and the flexibility of Ethereum.
Although Qtum and Ethereum have technical similarities, Qtum is not directly called "Chinese Ethereum". However, Qtum has an important position in the field of blockchain in China, and is known as the three swordsmen of Chinese blockchain together with NEO and EOS. However, Qtum's laboratory is located in the United States and is one of the largest blockchain projects in the world.
In summary, Qtum is an independent blockchain project and has no direct relationship with Ethereum, but Qtum is inspired and influenced by Ethereum in technology and application.
