Review on Qtum by Sergio Daniel Delgado
analysis on Qtum
Qtum offers two main features for developers and organizations that want to take advantage of its platform. The first of them being, as we already anticipated, the creation of smart contracts within your Blockchain.
Likewise, like Ethereum, Qtum allows the development of decentralized applications or dApps within its platform. Being in this sense, a mirror of the functionalities that ETH offers. Combining them with different characteristics to make them more attractive to their users.
Qtum, until now, has tried to be an alternative to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, being in fact from a technical point of view, a mix between the two. Using the Bitcoin base code for its programming, and implementing the features of Ethereum in its operation.
However, Qtum presents itself as an evolution of these same characteristics. Well, in theory, it would provide greater security , and scalability than Ethereum. Two themes that are already starting to generate headaches for the second cryptocurrency in the world. And that Qtum would seem to have solved.
Pros
- guarantees a greater user community, support and security in Blockchain-based projects.
Cons
- from a technical point of view, they fail to justify their existence. Well, the same capabilities that a coin like this offers can be found in other virtual currencies with a higher Baggage
