February Development and Community Updates

During February, the Qtum blockchain team was busy with various updates, initiatives, and partnerships. The month kicked off with the announcement that Qtum was invited to the prestigious Satoshi Roundtable 2023, where the team had the opportunity to connect with other industry leaders and discuss the latest trends and developments in the blockchain space.

Development

Qtum released a new wallet update, v23, which includes enhanced functionalities, increased security, and new features to keep users up-to-date with the latest developments in the blockchain industry. The update allows the codebase to stay up-to-date with both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is the 45th Qtum release since our main network release.

If you haven’t updated your Qtum wallet yet, please download the latest release from our GitHub:

An upcoming release of a user-friendly, Web3 browser-based wallet called Qtum Qnekt is also in the works. The Web3 wallet is designed to simplify the process of interacting with DeFi and NFT ecosystems while enabling users to control their assets while maintaining custody. Based on the Qtum blockchain, Qnekt provides users with a seamless experience and is expected to launch soon. Anything wallet related has to be thoroughly tested before even a beta can be released, so we have an alpha test network campaign planned that could potentially lead into some rewards or airdrops for participants who find bugs or stress test the software. We’ll have more information on this in the coming weeks as we get more prepared.

Community

The Qtum team also announced the Foundation would make a $50k donation to Binance Charity’s “Emergency Earthquake Appeal” following the earthquake in Syria and Turkey, demonstrating the Foundation’s commitment to social responsibility. This money was budgeted in February and released to the team in the March budget, so this transaction will happen in the next few days.

You may have noticed recently the Qtum project has been gaining momentum here on CoinMarketCap Community, which is a crypto focused social media network. We plan on being more active here especially over the next few months, as it caters more directly to the greater blockchain community.

Throughout February, the Qtum team also engaged with its community, rewarding loyal followers who have been instrumental in the growth and success of the project. With its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community engagement. Qtum moderators and staff can be found on our official Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/zyVMQSv

You may have also noticed the Qtum team has a TikTok channel! It just launched and we are looking forward to expanding our social media presence:
