Key Features of Quantum

Quantum offers a range of features designed to enhance your experience. By using Quantum, AR holders can explore various dApps building on AO and potentially earn additional rewards, all while maintaining their position in the Arweave ecosystem.

  • Q Arweave (qAR): Convert your AR to qAR, which you can use across various decentralized applications (dApps) within the AO ecosystem.

  • Dual Rewards: Continue accruing AO rewards while using AO apps, all while maintaining your rights as an AR holder.
  • MPC-Secured Wallet: Your assets are protected by Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, ensuring top-notch security. MPC shards are distributed across different entities within the AO ecosystem, preventing centralization and reducing risk.
  • Transparency: Balances are currently visible on the proof of reserves page, with plans to bring transactions like mint/burn tracker later, promoting trust and accountability.
  • Institutional-Grade Security: Quantum utilizes advanced MPC custodial infrastructure, providing the same level of protection demanded by top financial institutions.
