Case Study: Qtum builds a scalable UTXO smart contract platform with PixelPlex

Qtum - Customer Case Study

Qtum, working with PixelPlex, needed a scalable blockchain and DApp development platform that could overcome the limits of prior-generation blockchain frameworks, including scalability, server reliance, and restricted functionality. The goal was to build the first UTXO-based smart contract platform with PoS consensus, support for multiple virtual machines and languages, and tooling that would make smart contract development easier for both desktop and mobile environments.

PixelPlex implemented PoS consensus on a Bitcoin fork, integrated Ethereum and WASM virtual machines, built a block explorer with smart contract and ERC20 support, and developed a mobile wallet with smart contract support. The result was a hybrid blockchain platform with decentralized governance, enterprise-ready capabilities, and broad developer support; Qtum reports transaction bandwidth of up to 50,000 tps and a global network of over 5,000 nodes.
