We share an important post and research by a Q member, since it also involves $wQUIL 🚨 @XTexchange : Urgent Call for Accountability and Transparency 🚨 We demand the immediate purchase of missing tokens, the restoration of withdrawals, and the cessation of false claims by @XTexchange . On November 28, 2024, #XTExchange experienced a security breach resulting in the theft of approximately 494 ETH (~$2M). Contrary to recent announcements claiming the full resumption of withdrawal services, the affected tokens remain inaccessible, and users face censorship when seeking clarification. It appears that XT is attempting to pass the losses from the hack onto users holding the affected tokens by spreading misleading information to both users and the press. We will not allow this to continue. It is clear that #XT has not yet compensated its users, who can neither withdraw the affected tokens nor trade them on the market due to a lack of liquidity. We demand that #XT: >> Immediately reacquire the stolen tokens >> Reopen withdrawals without further delay >> Provide transparent and truthful information instead of trying to cover up the incident 🔍 Summary of the Incident: >> Date of Attack: November 28, 2024 >> Amount Stolen: 494 ETH ($2M) Technical Details: >> The EVM address of #XT has been compromised >> Eight ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum network were transferred to an attacker's address and can be easily viewed here: etherscan.io/tokentxns?a=0x4… >> The funds were subsequently exchanged into ETH (~465 ETH) and sent to: etherscan.io/address/0xb43ff… Stolen Tokens: >> 7,849,266 $wQUIL @QuilibriumInc (> $1M) >> 1,775,405 $DOGE @doge_eth_gov (> $0.5M) >> 1,116,459,224 $WOLF @Wolf0x67 (~$170k) >> 92,804 $TRUMP @MAGAMemecoin (~$150k) >> 515,352,289 $FLOKI @RealFlokiInu (~$120k) >> 164,267 $ZND @ZND_co (> $100k) >> 776,968 $ASTRA @astraprotocol (> $2k) >> 91,974 $USDT @tether The first to report the hack was @PeckShieldAlert a few hours after it happened: nitter.app/PeckShieldAlert/status… 50 minutes after #PeckShieldAlert's report, @XTexchange posted a tweet and an announcement about an 'abnormal transfer': nitter.app/XTexchange/status/1862… assuring: 'Rest assured, this will not affect our users. [...] We always maintain reserves 1.5x greater than user assets to ensure maximum security.' In addition, XT announced the closure of all withdrawals: xtsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-… and issued further reassurances: "Rest assured. Users' assets are always safe! We are solving the problem and all will be back to normal soon.": nitter.app/XTexchange/status/1862… "Rest assured, users' assets remain safe and unaffected.": nitter.app/XTexchange/status/1862… On the same day, XT states that 'Withdrawal services will gradually resume starting 00:00 (UTC) on Nov 29, 2024, with full restoration within 24 hours.' nitter.app/XTexchange/status/1862… On 2 December, XT officially announced that 'XT has now fully resumed withdrawal services for all tokens.' xtsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-… ❌ The Truth Behind XT's Statements: 1️⃣ Withdrawals NOT Resumed: >> The tokens involved in the hack are not withdrawable >> The claim of 'technical maintenance' is hardly credible, as other Ethereum wallets are functioning normally >> Evidence indicates that XT no longer owns these tokens and has not yet used its reserves to repurchase them 2️⃣ Missing Assets: >> Checking the address of XT's user deposits (the one from which the funds were hacked): etherscan.io/tokenholdings?a… >> The hacked tokens have not yet been re-entered 3️⃣ No Liquidity for Exchanges: >> Comparison between the chart of $DOGE on XT (white) and Uniswap (black) >> The last trade on XT is priced 25% below the market value on Uniswap >> A sale of only $1,000 on the market would decrease the price by 50%, and $3,000 would decrease it by 75% compared to the Uniswap price >> On some days, the average price on XT was 1/3 of the actual value >> These quotations and the lack of liquidity reflect owners' fears about the reliability of XT 4️⃣ User Censorship: >> We report only one conversation in which two users are mutated only because they ask about the opening of withdrawals of a token (among those involved in the hack) because it was exhaustive, and we received dozens of witnesses of banned users and deleted messages >> On the left, two screens show a conversation in XT's Telegram chat. The first screen was sent to us by 'Emanuele' himself, and as you can see, was mutated (shortly after the admin's reply) >> On the right, a screenshot shows a person talking to "Igor," who joked that if he entered the group to ask about withdrawals, he would be banned immediately. As soon as he asked, he was banned within less than five minutes, as evidenced by the timestamps Translation of the Conversation: >> Igor: "What did I tell you?" >> Person: "Have you already been banned?" >> Igor: (Displays restrictions screen) ⚠️ Further Details on the Hack: Additional Tokens Involved: >> The attacker's transactions did not only involve eight tokens mentioned earlier. Tey also involved 4 other tokens, none of which are listed on any centralized exchanges, all reported by DexScreener as honeypots. The exact role these tokens played in the hack remains unclear >> The attacker bridged 1 ETH on Optimism and executed a "Proof Withdrawal Transaction," authorizing the transfer of more funds via a bridge from Optimism to Ethereum. This action requires a challenge period of seven days >> Yesterday, on December 5, the attacker executed a "Finalize Withdrawal Transaction" that allowed them to collect approximately 29 ETH etherscan.io/address/0xbeb5f… We have analyzed the attacker's transactions and can confirm that today's event represents the completion of the November 28 hack. This means the attacker can no longer extract any more funds from XT's address. The 29 ETH obtained by the hacker were acquired by swapping the following assets: optimistic.etherscan.io/tx/0… Swapped Assets are: $OP, $WETH, $wstETH, $USCD, $VELO, $alUSD, $alETH, $FRAX, $frxETH, $USDC, $GIV, $DAI, $USDT, $USD+, $CRV, $LINK, $WBTC The total amount gained by the hacker amounts to approximately 494 ETH (~ $2M) 📢 Appeal to the Community and XT: Demand for Accountability: We will not accept silence and false announcements from XTExchange. Users of $wQUIL and other affected communities deserve transparency and justice. Our Demands: >> Repurchase the stolen tokens >> Restore withdrawals immediately >> Allow unrestricted communication channels and provide truthful information regarding the incident and ongoing recovery efforts Together we can make a difference.

👀❣️A message from Quilibrium founder @cass_on_mars Something to think about as we near the launch of (Quorum) Spaces, and then subsequently as the next milestones are reached for Quilibrium 2.1 on testnet. It's been a long road to get us here. Longer than expected, for sure. Steady progress has been made, and I as well as many others here have put countless all nighters into this to keep pushing forward. We're not a crypto VC backed project, we don't have a budget or funds from coin sales (because we couldn't even if we wanted to, but we don't), but despite this, we've moved far. A while back, when delays were happening to get 2.0 out, i pointed out that another protocol, coincidentally named the same as our release version, Dusk, was one of those venture backed coins, with a large team, and even they experienced many delays in getting to mainnet. They finally got their mainnet today, no idea if applications can be deployed or not yet. But in their first nine hours of genesis, they have 59 total transactions, all of which are funds movement/staking related. It's not to drag on them by saying that — launching a protocol with even a big team is incredibly difficult work, and why you don't see many people doing it with anything novel — but rather, something to keep in mind when people start talking FUD on our project, that "not all applications can yet work on our network", or that we're "not moving fast enough", etc. All the money in the world to a team, taking them seven years of dedicated time (going off their earliest date of 2018 for their company) and the genesis day today sees basically no movement. We already have an application that is seeing use, and is about to get a big upgrade today that should see a lot more. And 2.1 unlocks so much more possibilities for us. This has happened from a strictly bootstrapped team of volunteers and dreamers. Keep this in mind when you hear detractors, especially when their motives are laid bare. Accelerate. P.S. Not asking for praise, just pre-rallying the troops because this month is going to get wild $QUIL

Why Quilibrium? by: Cassie Heart source: warpcast.com/cassie/0xecce04… Years ago, when I started building a decentralized discord clone, people asked me why. I wanted a communication tool that was truly decentralized, in a way that no state actor was able to gain control over. Signal's design wasn't capable of group chats beyond a certain size. The features only went so far. And it has failure points such that countries block them by firewall and have to rely on the good graces of others to run proxies, which ultimately get shut down or blocked too. App stores do not share in this ideal — their concern is profit, and will bend backwards when forced to by regulatory bodies. Amazon and others are complicit in helping state actors maintain their control of the web, and are profiting handsomely from the arrangement. None of this happened by accident. And I only saw it getting worse. I realized what I was building in this chat application went beyond just chat, and how pressing it was to make this general purpose. I took the time to pivot, to build what Nick Szabo called a god protocol. A protocol capable of being a globally shared computer — but truly one, not facing the extreme bottlenecks of the existing blockchain paradigm. And I began to sound the battle cry: the internet is under attack. I argued that the four axes of control over the web: - ISPs - cloud providers - identity/backup/mail/general service providers - state actors All of them were engaging in a multisided attack on internet freedom. I argued this before founders were getting arrested and charged for uncensorable platforms. I argued this before tornado cash's developers were arrested. I argued this before protesters in Canada saw their bank accounts frozen. I argued this before government and major social media went on a collaborative purge and information hole campaign on topics related to COVID, labeling/hiding "misinformation" that later was proven to be true (lab leak, mask effectiveness, economic policies that are coming due as we speak) And I dealt with a lot of people who did not believe this was a "serious problem". That the acts of one nation would not be replicated and amplified amongst them all. That it wouldn't get worse. My messaging changed. The internet wasn't just under attack, the internet was already dead. That we needed to move quickly, and continue to push for privacy and censorship proof protocols. That the MEV bot wars and government controls on speech were different sides of the same coin. And that the window is closing on having a chance at fighting. The message spread. But it spread in strange ways. Suddenly I found myself working towards a protocol launch to do these things, and my act of talking about it caught the attention of a few different crowds: - those who believe in the ideals - those who wish to destroy the ideals And the latter camp has been in our public square, telling everyone how much they care about this technology, how much they wish to support it and help it grow. They told me the same. Whether it's self delusion on their part or malice, they have sold a lie that they care about the future of this technology, and it shows bare in their acts: - they buy the reward of the protocol and focus on protocol builders to design it to be scarce in ways that make them wealthy - they buy the labels of "backing community driven projects" and put up large banners to claim their involvement in the space of all these things, and then drop them when the wave that project was in dies down - they lead on builders for months (or even over a year) that the support is around the corner, hoping to exhaust them until they out of desperation will bend their morals They are the fifth axis of the attack on the internet, and their words should be met with the same skepticism that is given to any other actor that has been complicit in letting things get the way they have. We are days away from the launch of what I have been building towards for years, a rally cry for freedom on the web. And we will not bend to anyone that wishes to stop our mission in securing every bit of traffic over the web, in ensuring people have the right to transact, the right to speak, the right to peacefully assemble, the right to compute, and the right to do such in private. And we will not negotiate with any of the axes for those rights. We will not ask permission. We will not cower in fear of consequences that have no basis in the rights of man. We will not take their money. This is a war for our rights, and a war we will win. Get with it, or get out of the fucking way. The internet is dead. Long live the internet. $QUIL Note: Cassie is not on X, you can find her on Farcaster (warpcast.com/cassie)

🧵 Let's talk about what's really happening with Quilibrium right now. Note: this is just my personal view! ❓ Why are rewards so low right now? I'll be straight with you - most of us are mining at a loss. As a node runner myself, I know how frustrating this is. The Q price is down, rewards got slashed in v2.0, and the current prover ring system isn't helping. 🔄 Let me explain this ring system thing: Right now, we have just one group of rings (think of it like a ladder). Ring 0 is where the big rewards are, and then it goes down to rings 1, 2, 3, etc. Here's the catch: everyone's competing to get into ring 0, and if you're in a higher-numbered ring, your rewards are... well, let's just say they're not great. But even in ring 0, rewards are generally low for folks that are renting their hardware, because the big boys are now in the game. I feel for everyone who signed long-term contracts or invested heavily in hardware. We're all in the same boat, watching our costs exceed our rewards. 🔜 What's supposed to change in 2.1? The network will introduce multiple ring groups, with each group limited to 8 participants. This should spread out the competition and give smaller players a fighting chance. 2.1 will change many things, so most smart node runners are simply scaling down and waiting for a better window of opportunity. 🌟 Why am I still optimistic? Even if my node runner ego is suffering, I still see Q's mission and how it can thrive in the future. This isn't just about mining rewards - it's about building a decentralized internet infrastructure that could actually compete with AWS and the big players. Recently @cass_on_mars (Q founder) pointed out how the network might actually favor smaller cloud providers and people who own their infrastructure. And, home operators near ISP hubs could have advantages in content delivery that big data centers can't match. 📈 From an investor point of view, now QUIL is extremely oversold and the R/R is all there, if you understand what the project could become. Many node runners are capitulating, the network is not healthy yet, and this creates a situation of maximum opportunity, if you can understand the risks of course. The same situation happened with BTC, ETH and countless other great projects in the past. 🤔 What's the real talk about right now, though? If you're struggling with costs (like many of us are), there's no shame in scaling down or even pausing operations while keeping your node's seniority. The network's economics right now are tough - that's just the reality. You could try to jump onboard again when 2.1 launches, using your current node's seniority to try to gain a good prover ring spot. Or you could scale down your node(s) as much as possible, keeping it alive not to earn rewards but just to land proofs and earn more seniority points. 💪 What keeps me going? I believe in what Q is trying to build. Yes, the current situation is painful for many of us, but the vision of a truly decentralized internet infrastructure is worth fighting for. The future might belong to those who can weather this storm and adapt to what the network really needs. But let's be honest - it's okay to feel frustrated right now. Many of us took risks, signed contracts, or invested in hardware with different expectations. The key is to make informed decisions about your own situation while keeping an eye on where this is all heading. 💭 What do you think about the current situation? Are you also running nodes? Let me know your thoughts 👇 $QUIL

Updates from Today's Community Discussions! The Quilibrium community had some amazing conversations today, especially about the highly anticipated 2.1 version. Here's a quick summary for everyone: Create Your Own Tokens with 2.1! ✅ With the 2.1 upgrade, users will be able to create their own tokens! @cass_on_mars mentioned that once the upgrade is live, the community might see a flood of "test tokens" right away. Initially, the supported model will be UTXO-style, which allows transactions to process independently for better efficiency. Account-based models (like ERC-20) are expected later this year. 👉 Want to try it out? Check out this example on Quil Labs: quilibrium.com/labs/token Applications Are Coming (Smart Contract-like Functionality) ⚙️ Quil 2.1 will introduce Applications, a feature similar to smart contracts. These Applications can handle complex logic (like automatic account management) without the resource lock issues seen in traditional token models. The Future of AI on Quil 🤖 The community discussed exciting possibilities for AI on Quil, such as AI trading bots that could manage DEX trades for users 24/7! 💻 Additionally, GPU mining could power machine learning tasks on Quil in the future, making it a great fit for AI applications. Bridging and Expanding Quil’s Capabilities 🌉 Quil is planning to support Ethereum ERC-20 token bridging, enabling most ERC-20 tokens to interact with the Quil network. @cass_on_mars also confirmed that rolling up Ethereum states into Quil is feasible and will be a key focus going forward. $QUIL This post has been created by community member Zhao Xi

Quilibrium's Passkey Revolution: Say Farewell to Crypto Wallets and Seed Phrases 🔑 What are passkeys? Passkeys are digital keys stored on your device, using biometrics or a PIN for verification. They eliminate the need for complex passwords, enhancing both security and convenience. 🔒 How passkeys work: Your device creates a unique key pair when you set up an account. The website stores the public key, while you keep the private key. Login is simple - use your biometrics or PIN, and your device proves it's you without sharing sensitive data. 💡 Quilibrium's innovation: Quilibrium replaces traditional crypto wallets with passkeys. Users interact directly through their browser, removing the need for a separate wallet app and simplifying the user experience. 🚀 Benefits over traditional crypto wallets: Quilibrium's approach offers improved user-friendliness, enhanced security, and phishing resistance. It eliminates seed phrases and limits risk if compromised, making it safer and easier to use than traditional wallets. 🌐 Why it matters: This innovation lowers barriers to entry, provides a familiar authentication flow, and enables seamless integration with existing tools. It also supports decentralized identity management and improves overall fund security. 🔮 The future: Quilibrium's use of passkeys points towards more accessible decentralized networks, smoother integration with web services, and the potential for wider blockchain adoption in everyday digital interactions. Quilibrium is setting a new standard for security and usability in the Web3 era. $QUIL

🌟Quilibrium’s AI Breakthrough: Encrypted Training on CPUs In her latest live stream (nitter.app/QuilibriumInc/status/1… - minute 14) Cassie unveiled a groundbreaking AI training method that allows models to be trained on encrypted data using CPUs while achieving performance comparable to Nvidia’s A100 GPU (blue line in the graph below). Traditionally, AI training requires expensive GPUs because matrix multiplications—the core of deep learning—are highly computational. Running these calculations on CPUs is painfully slow, often taking hours or days for even small models. The problem worsens when trying to train AI on encrypted data, as standard encryption methods add a massive computational burden. Quilibrium’s breakthrough removes this bottleneck. Instead of relying on traditional matrix multiplication, their method uses a completely different mathematical approach, allowing AI models to be trained securely and efficiently without exposing the raw data. Cassie didn’t reveal the exact technique, only hinting that it’s inspired by existing AI research and will be detailed in a future open-source AGPL-licensed paper. The key advantage? AI can now be trained at GPU speeds on standard CPUs, making privacy-preserving machine learning far more accessible. This innovation has major implications. It slashes AI infrastructure costs, allowing organizations to train powerful models without investing in expensive hardware. It also enables private AI training on personal or corporate data without revealing sensitive information, a game-changer for industries like healthcare and finance. If Quilibrium’s method delivers on its promise, it could reshape AI development, making privacy-first computing the new standard. $QUIL $wQUIL

Hey all, sorry if I haven't been posting updates here while Q 2.0 was updating, as I was busy smashing bugs and providing help on TG/Discord. Q 2.0 is now fully launched, and the network will resume working on 2024/10/15 18:00 UTC (status.quilibrium.com/). Shortly after that, the bridge to ETH and wQUIL will be reopened, and QUIL token transfers between nodes/clients will be available. And now the real work begins...🌎 >🌐 > 🛜 >🆓 $QUIL

In the coming days, we'll start posting some clips from the recent Q&A with @cass_on_mars on the latest Quilibrium developments. $QUIL $wQUIL Here is the first clip: Quilibrium's Approach to Sustainability and Strategic Vision You can find all the clips also on YouTube: piped.video/watch?v=LYFyqeI8… Transcription: Quilibrium remains a bootstrapped project with no VC backing. While this is great for decentralization, how do you ensure long-term sustainability? Are there plans for funding, grants, or other strategic partnerships? So simply put, we're in the process of fundraising with accredited investors. I should note that we are not making any statements or asks for investors in this particular AMA. That is not how we operate. We operate within the confines of the law under the United States in our explicit stances. No token warrants and no willingness to engage with investors that demand them. There are many VCs who do not demand these. We talk to them. Let me break down the long-term sustainability question in relation to funding: Grants, strategic partnerships, funding, and grants are common components of coins that have pre-allocations. We didn't do this. We had a completely fair launch. Q Inc. had to run miners in the same equal roles that everyone else had, and by consequence, we have well under 1% of the total tokens on the network. Our position on the use of tokens has not changed. As a utility token, we do not engage or encourage speculation of the token. Our purpose in holding the token is to utilize the network for its intended purposes. One of these cases is quorum, and other cases also include things like providing AWS-compatible services and additional intrinsics we want to put on the network to support things like machine learning. What we do intend to do is help developers onboard and provide a free tier of access to these compatible services so people can see the ease of switching over and even begin to do so before having to actually put any money toward it. In that same vein, when we were running miners in the earlier days, we chose not to continue because things are so complicated and nebulous that we don't want to potentially be seen as having a strategic advantage when we don't. But we still don't want to create that type of narrative. So we don't run miners right now, but we do want to at least have the token supply that we currently have as Q Inc. to facilitate the utility of the network that we are going to provide through these SDKs. Additionally, our strategic partnerships have been focused on those who need these services basically yesterday, let alone today. The biggest set of customers we've been talking to for immediate onboarding are Wallet-as-a-Service providers and decentralized apps using S3 to host their front ends. This is part of the whole mission of serving other protocols. For those who have never launched an app on networks like Ethereum or Solana, when you launch a decentralized app, you put a contract on the network. That contract is some very small application code because these networks cannot execute particularly complex applications, or if they do, they can't do them cheaply. So a lot of the time, it's focused on just putting small amounts of data on the network and then putting a very nice, clean user interface that wraps around it—and maybe sometimes a server-side component that's handling some additional bookkeeping. The biggest irony about all of these decentralized applications is that they're not actually decentralized, at least on the front-end side and sometimes not on the back-end side. This is where Quilibrium provides a very nice way to mesh with other networks. We provide the ability for people to host those front ends, host the back ends, and that's where we're going to fit in really well within that particular side of the crypto ecosystem. Other than those individuals, we are going to, of course, try to encourage other people to build, see what new types of applications can be built, and build new primitives. We aim to onboard entirely new concepts that simply cannot exist in the crypto ecosystem today. One thing I also want to note about the customers we're talking to is that a lot of them have actually spoken to us unprompted. We haven't really done cold sales. Cold sales have been something that, you know, me personally, I'm a software developer. I'm not a salesperson in general. So, trying to do cold sales to people—I can do it, but I'm not really happy about doing it, and I'll do it when I have to. What’s been unique is that every single time we talk about the unique advantages of the network and what we’re building toward, we get so many people who are entrenched in the space already, who are building, saying: Yes, this is the problem we want to solve. We can’t currently do this. We’re relying on these centralized things, and we can’t move those things onto these chains because they can’t support it. So that’s actually been really cool. Just talking about it has been a funnel in itself.

💘 What's coming after Quilibrium 2.0 ? Quilibrium is planning to launch two primary products in the first months after the 2.0 network release, which should finish to roll out this week. Let's break them down: 1️⃣ S3-Compatible Storage Service First up is a service that's compatible with S3 (Simple Storage Service). For those who aren't familiar, S3 is like a giant digital storage locker in the cloud. Here's what makes Quilibrium's version interesting: > True Privacy: Unlike some big cloud providers, Quilibrium's service seems designed to keep your data genuinely private. You won't need to encrypt your data yourself – it's baked into the service. > Potential Cost Savings: Word is that Quilibrium is aiming to compete on price. 💰 > Distributed Approach: Q networks offers a more distributed storage solution. This could mean better reliability and performance. 🌐 2️⃣ Key Management Service (KMS) The second offering is a Key Management Service. Think of KMS as a super-secure vault for digital keys that unlock encrypted data. Here's where it gets interesting: > True Multi-Party Computation: Unlike some services that claim to use multi-party computation but actually just split keys, Quilibrium's KMS uses genuine MPC. This means the actual key is never fully reconstructed in one place – pretty cool stuff! 🔐 > Regulatory Compliance: This is a big deal for businesses. Quilibrium's approach is designed to help companies meet strict regulatory requirements, like those set by the NYDFS (New York Department of Financial Services). ✅ > Risk Reduction: By eliminating the need for trusted execution environments and key recombination, this service could help companies significantly reduce their regulatory and security risks. 🛡️ > Developer-Friendly: Despite the advanced security features, Q is also working to make it easy for developers to integrate. 👨‍💻 What this means for Quilibrium? These services show that Quilibrium Inc. isn't just focused on creating public goods. They're aiming to offer competitive, revenue-generating products that leverage the unique capabilities of Q network. And this is of course only the beginning. Quilibrium will also support End-to-end encrypted streaming, and AI applications… it's just a matter of time. 🚀 $QUIL

Q updates! (mostly about node running) The latest update (2.0.4.2) has solved several issues, and now mining in Ring 0 seems to be at least break-even (given the $QUIL price being extremely oversold) for folks who are renting hardware. This update has improved network resilience and squashed malicious actors. A particularly clever malicious miner that was spam attacking the network was discovered and kicked. Q reached 4x Ethereum's daily transactions! Although these are mostly still "boring" transactions (mints, transfers, merges, splits, and proof-related transactions), it's still a nice milestone. More and more people are starting to help with the code and testnet on an ongoing basis. The future looks bright.

Latest Q flex stats ⚡️⚡️⚡️ - The network's total compute capability is now roughly 1/4 of an average Google data center - The network is now operating with roughly 4x the daily transaction volume of Ethereum - Frame speed increased 2x, target for v2.0.x is to be brought down to 30s, which should bring overall transaction volume to roughly 8-12x Ethereum.

📌Quilibrium 2.0 Rollout Update The 2.0 software is now ready for release! Due to the requirement for at least nine signers to review and sign the software, we had to carefully schedule a time when we could ensure their availability, as this signing process is more complex than usual. The release signing and binary availability will commence on September 4, 2024, at 4:00 PM UTC. The final stages of deployment and full stasis unlock are expected to be completed by approximately September 5, 2024, at 4:00 PM UTC.

Q 2.0 UPDATE Sorry for not posting more frequently, as I have been very busy helping Q community members. Quilibrium 2.0.1 was released yesterday, and the network is now stabilizing with the mesh building nicely. Rewards minting is currently experiencing issues, but a fix is already being tested in the testnet. Once resolved, nodes that have fully synced with the network will automatically begin minting their rewards. After that, node runners will be able to transfer QUIL. The ETH Bridge will follow shortly afterward to enable bridging to wQUIL. Around October 30, 8PM UTC, nodes will begin to be assigned to prover spots, and the excitement will begin. That's all for now! $QUIL

🌈 The Future of the Internet, Today: Why We Need Quilibrium Remember when the internet felt like the Wild West? A place of endless possibilities, where information flowed freely and creativity knew no bounds? Those days seem long gone. Today's internet is a far cry from that utopian vision. Let's break down why, and how Quilibrium aims to bring back the internet we were promised. 1️⃣ The Current State: A Broken Web Our beloved internet has become a playground for tech giants, government surveillance, and privacy nightmares. Here's the ugly truth: ◆ Big Tech rules supreme, controlling vast swathes of online infrastructure ◆ Your data? It's not yours. It's harvested, sold, and exploited without your true consent ◆ Free speech? More like "free speech*" (*terms and conditions apply) ◆ One angry tweet from the wrong person, and poof! Your entire platform could vanish It's a digital dystopia, folks. And it's only getting worse. 2️⃣ Enter Quilibrium: Rewriting the Rules This is where Quilibrium steps in, offering a glimpse of what the internet could (and should) be. It's not just another blockchain project – it's a complete reimagining of web infrastructure. Key features: ◆ True privacy: Your data remains yours, encrypted and secure ◆ Censorship resistance: No more arbitrary takedowns or deplatforming ◆ Scalability: Designed to support internet-scale applications ◆ Developer-friendly: Build the future without sacrificing user privacy 3️⃣ How Quilibrium Changes the Game 🔐 Privacy by Design: Advanced cryptography ensures even the network can't spy on your data. 🛡️ Unstoppable Applications: Build apps that can't be taken down. No central authority to cave to pressure. ⚡ Scaling for the Future: Designed to handle massive amounts of data and computation. 🌐 A New Data Paradigm: Efficient, private data storage and retrieval for the entire internet. 4️⃣ Why This Matters We're not just talking about better apps or faster websites. We're talking about: ◆ Preserving free speech in the digital age ◆ Protecting activists and journalists from surveillance ◆ Giving people true ownership of their digital lives ◆ Fostering innovation free from the constraints of Big Tech 5️⃣ Join the Revolution The future of the internet isn't written in stone. It's up to us – developers, users, and believers in a free and open web – to shape it. Quilibrium offers us a chance to hit the reset button. To build an internet that serves humanity, not the other way around. Learn more about Quilibrium: quilibrium.one/ Join the community: discord.gg/quilibrium Start building: quilibrium.com/ $QUIL

💰 The cloud market is HUGE. Just look at 2024 estimated revenues: ☁️ AWS: $107.6B ☁️ Microsoft Azure (estimate): $100B ☁️ Google Cloud: $48B ☁️ Alibaba Cloud (estimate): $10B ☁️ IBM Cloud (estimate): $25B That’s an ~$290.6B industry in just one year. Now, what happens if Quilibrium captures just 1% of this market? That’s an ~$2.9 BILLION annual revenue for a decentralized, MPC-powered cloud alternative. Quilibrium isn’t just another cloud provider. It’s a protocol designed to secure every bit of traffic on the web—because the current cloud landscape is: 🔒 Centralized in the hands of a few giants 🛑 Vulnerable to single points of failure 🔄 Opaque, limiting control for users Decentralization must be secure, scalable, and practical. That’s the hard-tech problem we’re solving. $QUIL $wQUIL

Good news for all the lovers of privacy. Remember, Quilibrium $QUIL is much more than your average privacy coin or protocol. It's a privacy-centric decentralized network where the entire internet, including many existing blockchains, could seamlessly operate. Designed to align with laws and regulations, Quilibrium represents the next step in the evolution of the internet. Want to dive deeper? Here you go: nitter.app/QuilibriumOne/status/1…

Hey Q enthusiasts! Mining operations have resumed with Quilibrium's new Prover Rings system. While the network is still adjusting and rewards aren't yet optimal, improvements are happening daily and will continue with the next Q release. The new system features seven rings (0-6), with Ring 0 offering the highest rewards at 737,280 Quil daily. In 2.0, there is only one big ring. In 2.1, there will be multiple rings and a much more complex system in place. New node runners will have to work their way through from the outer ring layers, keeping their nodes running in good state, and waiting for nodes in higher rings to be evicted in order to take their place. Rewards from now on will be drastically reduced, and almost all node runners are currently mining at a loss. This was expected and will allow for a self-selection of only the best node operators, while emissions reduce. Here is a very detailed article on how all this works: paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.co… Kudos to @LookDragi for the beautiful infographic $QUIL

Introducing Quorum: 🚀 A Quilibrium-powered, secure, peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted group messenger. Ref: nitter.app/QuilibriumInc/status/1… 🔍 What Makes it Special: Quorum is seven years of research and development in the making, purpose built to give the same kind of privacy with special-purpose encrypted messengers, but is meant to feel very familiar to other chat applications. What makes it so special? Let's take a look under the hood. 📱 Peer-to-peer: Quorum is built on top of Quilibrium in order to drive message delivery, and gets supercharged with more powerful features with the upcoming 2.1 update. Quorum is easy to use without running a Quilibrium node or a specialized Quorum node, and defaults to a light client experience, meaning users with low bandwidth can glean the benefits of Quorum without having to risk large bandwidth bills. 🔒 End-to-end encrypted: Quorum's encrypted messaging uses Quilibrium's Triple-Ratchet Protocol, which allows it to scale beyond what other encrypted messengers can. Many use Double-Ratchet for all messages, which is one message for direct messaging, but requires a unique encrypted message to each member of a group chat, meaning many set limits to about 1,000 users so the bandwidth and processing overhead is not too high to be unusable. Triple-Ratchet is one message for all group members, no matter the size, letting you have group conversations that scale and can work in more bandwidth restricted areas. 🔑 Safe and secure signup: Quorum uses Passkeys, letting you create an account in a matter of seconds. All information in onboarding is strictly confidential between you and only those you communicate with. 💎 Token-powered: Quorum will be launching a premium username market for easy short urls to be reached and to stand out with a unique user profile. Quorum will also be launching an answer to premium subscription features of other platforms, Quorum Apex – a monthly subscription, which is paid in crypto (initially, QUIL, with wQUIL and other options to follow in the coming weeks after its release). Apex is even more superpowered with its Sponsor feature – allowing people who create communities to be sponsored by Apex subscribers, and earn monthly. Apex subscribers get up to four sponsorships to use a month, and can only be changed once per month. Want to use all your sponsorship slots on one space? Go for it! 💻 Multi-platform and Open Source: Our initial launch will target web, with Desktop and Mobile clients planned in the following weeks. After the launch, all the repositories supporting Quorum will be released to github (and if one has a careful eye, they may notice some already have been, like our E2EE library: github.com/QuilibriumNetwork…). 🚀 Launch Details: Quorum's public beta begins on Christmas Day. Keep an eye on quorummessenger.com, which has an FAQ, and will be updated with the link to public beta access. Merry Christmas! 🎄 $QUIL

📌 Q Cluster Configurator Now accessible at: lamat1111.github.io/Q-Cluste… I also added the possibility to save your configurations. It will save them via your browser, so if you clean the browser cache it will delete them. You will have to use the same device to see your saved configurations.

🚀 Major Update for the Q1 Quickstart Menu Your menu should update automatically, if it doesn't, or if you want to install it from scratch, visit: docs.quilibrium.one/start/q1… NEW FEATURES: - Node and QClient version auto-check, with warning messages if an update is needed - Node auto-updates: you can now choose to enable or disable auto-updates for the Node and QClient - "Install node" and "prepare server" now only show if you don't have a node installed, along with special instructions for new users - QClient actions: opens a submenu with options to manage your QUIL tokens. - You can also use the QClient actions menu as a standalone menu by calling "qclient" in your terminal IMPROVEMENTS: - Menu autoload on login is now optional and improved to avoid issues with interactive shell and tmux sessions - Node/Qclient install and update scripts have been improved - Several fixes and logic improvements throughout the entire code $QUIL

🔔 Update on the @XTExchange emergency 🔔 Approximately 20 hours after our tweet, @XTexchange has reopened withdrawals for $wQUIL only, without having provided any communication about. Here's what's going on: >>> All users trying withdrawal $wQUIL are having a daily limit of $1,000. Since the reopening of withdrawals, no withdrawals have exceeded 10,000 units of $wQUIL (~ >$1k), as can be seen here: etherscan.io/token/0x8143182… Note: There are a few nations where #XT imposes this limit by default, but now the problem is affecting everyone. >>> #XT is using tokens already in its public wallets, which contain only a fraction of the stolen tokens. In the case of $wQUIL, #XT note addresses owns about 1/4 of the stolen amount. $wQUIL represents the only token of all through which XT can carry out this strategy without being drained within minutes. ⚠️ Conclusion: #XT appears to have partially restored withdrawals to create the impression that it is resolving the situation, possibly in response to the pressure from our previous tweet. However, the stolen tokens have not yet been repurchased and placed into XT's wallets, meaning their wallets will be drained within the timeframe allowed by the withdrawal limits. The lack of official communication regarding the partial restoration of $wQUIL withdrawals highlights an attempt to publicly cover up and deny the ongoing situation. 📌 Additional details and clarifications: 1️⃣ Withdrawal blocking: It affected all tokens involved in the hack with the exception of USDT and FLOKI, the only ones with a high marketcap, of which XT had other stocks in its public addresses (see below), which were treated on a par with the other tokens listed on XT, confirming that the ‘technical maintenance’ thesis is not credible 2️⃣ XT's official wallets: As stated in the previous message, the address of XT's user Deposits and Withdrawals is this: etherscan.io/address/0xdb3de… This is not their only wallet. The ‘official’ addrresses, reported by etherscan as linked to XT.com, are as follows: XT.com: Hot Wallet: 0xefda0cb780a8564903285ed25df3cc024f3b2982 XT.com 2: 0xE0a616C3659bE29567E08819772e6905307AdF21 XT.com 3: 0x104703893f56243c0e56441a99eb3f32e1ed6ad2 We tried to ask for more addresses in their Telegram group but were banned for doing so and no response was provided. 3️⃣ Tokens in the wallets (equal to or less than pre-hack) compared to the amounts stolen: $wQUIL: 1,961,240 / 7.8M @QuilibriumInc $DOGE: 75,234 / 1.7M @doge_eth_gov $WOLF: 1 / 1.1B @Wolf0x67 $TRUMP: 1.014 / 93k @MAGAMemecoin $ZND: 7,022 / 164k @ZND_co 🚨 Our demands: Buy back the missing tokens and Reopen ALL withdrawals immediately. Together we can make a difference. Let's not allow @XTExchange to harm our communities and others. #XTExchangeRespond $wQUIL $DOGE $WOLF $TRUMP $FLOKI $ZND #USDT @QuilibriumInc

Quorum is the first app built on Quilibrium, offering unique privacy features that go beyond any current messenger. You can already test the open beta here: quorummessenger.com/ Keep in mind that there's still a lot of work to be done, but new features are being added daily. Since it's open source, we believe it will attract many developers eager to explore and improve it in the coming months. Kudos to @LookDragi for the animation below $QUIL

Here is a long summary of the latest Q&A with @cass_on_mars , Quilibrium founder. You can watch the entire video here: twitch.tv/videos/2358284214 🌍 Quilibrium’s Mission Q: What is Quilibrium’s mission? A: Quilibrium’s mission is to secure all traffic on the web. This includes applications built on its protocol, other protocols, and general web usage. 🆕 Recent Updates and Releases Q: What has happened since the last session? A: The major update was the 2.0.6 release, addressing vulnerabilities related to worker allocation. This release came after concerns about rising worker counts, over-allocation, and potential under-the-radar attacks. Q: Did the 2.0.6 release lead to any changes? A: While no immediate net changes in worker counts were observed, the network grew as more nodes updated. The release proved that no significant cheating was taking place, but it also highlighted the need for better fairness. Q: What fairness measures were introduced? A: The team implemented updates to reduce processing times and began utilizing AVX512 extensions, doubling proving speeds for those with compatible hardware. Q: Were there specific contributors acknowledged for these updates? A: Yes, contributors like Love Peace, Sea Otter, Big Evil Solo Miner, Victor, testnet participants, and release signers were instrumental in these improvements. 💬 Quorum Messenger Q: What is Quorum Messenger, and how has it evolved? A: Quorum Messenger, originally called Howler, is Quilibrium’s flagship communication app. Due to naming conflicts, it was rebranded to align with the “Q ecosystem.” Although its initial Christmas Day launch faced significant issues, it rebounded successfully and now sees consistent growth in users and messages. Q: How does Quorum compare to other crypto-based social products? A: Unlike many other projects that rely on tokenized incentives, Quorum has achieved organic growth. It consistently sees more activity week over week, demonstrating its potential as a novel, privacy-preserving communication tool. 🛠 Developer Tools and Milestones Q: What developer tools have been released recently? A: The Q JavaScript Channels SDK was launched, helping developers build with Quorum. A walkthrough of the SDK will be part of today’s stream. Q: What’s next on the roadmap? A: Key milestones include: - Milestone 3 on Testnet, critical for the 2.1 release. - Public invites for Quorum. - Q Name Service for privacy-preserving identities. - S3 and KMS developer previews. - Quorum mobile and desktop app betas. Q: Are there plans for applications beyond communication tools? A: Yes, upcoming features include AWS-compatible services, primitives for machine learning, and decentralized applications like marketplaces and gaming integrations. 💸 Funding and Decentralization Q: How is Quilibrium funded, given its decentralized approach? A: Quilibrium is bootstrapped and has no VC backing to maintain decentralization. Current fundraising efforts target accredited investors without offering token warrants. Q: Why not engage with crypto VCs? A: Crypto VCs often demand token warrants or engage in unprofessional behavior, which conflicts with Quilibrium’s principles. The team now focuses on traditional VCs and ecosystem partnerships. Q: How does Quilibrium ensure fairness despite its bootstrapped model? A: By operating on a fair launch model where Q Inc. holds less than 1% of tokens and focuses on building network utilities, not speculative investments. 🤝 Partnerships and Ecosystem Q: What strategic partnerships are in place? A: Partnerships focus on Wallet-as-a-Service providers and decentralized apps. Quilibrium addresses decentralization gaps by offering solutions for hosting both front-end and back-end operations. Q: Have these partnerships been effective? A: Yes, many companies approached Quilibrium unprompted, highlighting its relevance. Developers find the network solves unique challenges that other protocols cannot. Q: Can you share names of communities or partners? A: Not yet. Partnerships and community onboarding announcements are pending until necessary features (e.g., usernames, public invites) are in place. ⛏ Mining and Network Dynamics Q: How does mining work on the network? A: Mining rewards are proportional to contributions, ensuring fairness. Unlike Bitcoin, Quillibrium’s design guarantees rewards for all miners submitting proofs. Q: Are there concerns about mining centralization? A: While large farms dominate mining, the system ensures equal footing for participants using stock clients. Efforts like the 2.0.6 release aim to prevent unfair advantages. Q: How are emissions managed? A: Token emissions are tied to network growth. As the state of the network increases, emissions naturally decrease, preventing uncontrolled expansion. 🔒 Privacy and Security Q: How does the protocol handle user privacy? A: All user metadata is encrypted, and only public keys are visible. Apps cannot access sensitive details like IP addresses or device information. Q: Can app developers bypass privacy measures? A: The protocol design discourages data collection by making it costly and inefficient to do so. Developers are incentivized to adopt privacy-first practices. ⚠️ Challenges and Criticism Q: How does the team handle criticism and FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt)? A: By focusing on transparency, delivering consistent results, and discouraging speculation. Negative narratives are countered by demonstrating the project’s value through ongoing development. Q: What is the biggest risk to the project’s success? A: The primary risk is lack of adoption. This is being mitigated through Quorum, AWS-compatible services, and expanding developer engagement. 📱 Applications and Use Cases Q: What applications are planned for the network? A: Planned applications include custody wallets, decentralized exchanges, social media platforms, and NFT marketplaces. Q: Will there be an encrypted email service? A: An encrypted email service is unlikely due to the complexities of dealing with SMTP and major providers like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. Q: Can Quilibrium support online marketplaces? A: Yes, the Q Name Service will demonstrate a marketplace, and the broader ecosystem will support storefronts and other AWS-like services. 🗳 Governance and Future Plans Q: How will governance work after 2.1? A: Governance will rely on protocol consensus, where mining operators influence decisions through hardware resource allocation. Social consensus will play a role in resolving forks. Q: What happens after 2.1? A: Efforts will focus on developer evangelism, onboarding, and integrating with other networks for privacy-preserving solutions like trustless bridges. Q: Are there plans for a developer conference? A: Not yet, but the team is considering a balanced, development-focused event similar to Farcaster’s FarCon. $QUIL $wQUIL #LLTI

What is Quilibrium and why it matters? Here is a fresh video explainer made by our community members. $QUIL

Quilibrium’s Solution to Key Management Challenges for Wallet Providers More clips from the last Q&A with Quilibrium founder @cass_on_mars are on YouTube: piped.video/playlist?list=PL… $QUIL $wQUIL Transcription: So let me illustrate, because I've said many times, I’m not going to disclose some of these industry partners until they are ready. But I’ll illustrate with one example: a wallet-as-a-service provider. Every single company in this space whose primary product is a *retail* wallet-as-a-service (note: retail, not institutional offerings like Fireblocks, which is totally different) is essentially doing what I call "MPC in name only." Here’s how they operate: - They split a wallet key into three shards. - Sometimes your browser holds one shard, while they hold the other two. - One of their shards is a recovery share, which they might let you take custody of. Even if they give you the majority shares of the MPC wallet, when you perform signing operations, you are sending that share to them. Yes, it’s encrypted, but it’s sent in a way that gets recombined in a trusted execution enclave. Here’s the problem: regulators don’t care about the math behind the process. If at any point you hold enough key shares to constitute the key, it doesn’t matter whether it’s in a black box or not—you are the custodian. Now, do you know how many of these wallet providers are properly licensed and insured to be custodians? **Zero.** That’s the issue I’m highlighting. Quilibrium’s MPC Key Management service solves this problem by removing the trusted execution environment from the equation and using the network to safely handle the process. Nothing speaks more to a company than de-risking them from lawsuits. That’s exactly what we are solving for this particular audience.

Quorum Messenger Stats Today: - user growth: +103 - 83k messages today - 24 new spaces - much higher online user count, trending between 400-1300 online at any point during the day User Growth Initiatives: - @cass_on_mars has been speaking with small dev teams that are using Slack, TG and Discord to manage their projects and have been helping onboard them earlier than the larger teams planned, this has been extremely helpful in getting good feedback that will make the initial experience much better for larger communities as well as smaller ones. - Organic growth has been happening as well, it seems that people really hate discord and want to get off of it for their crypto projects, so promoting that, speaking in more spaces about it has been good at naturally gravitating people to Quorum. - The advertising plans will be enacted shortly after the public invite links and Q name marketplace opens. quorummessenger.com/ $QUIL $wQUIL

⚡️How fast is Quilibrium? Quilibrium has been tested to handle up to 100 million messages per second. This means it can support very busy apps like social media and banking/trading services. While the network can process a lot of messages, the actual number of transactions it can handle depends on how many computers (nodes) are running it. Early estimates suggest it could handle between 1.5 to 2.5 million transactions per second. Quilibrium works by splitting its network into at least 256 parts called "shards." Each shard can handle about 6,000 transactions per second. If needed, these shards can split further to handle more transactions. What makes Quilibrium different from other blockchain networks is how it processes transactions. It doesn't use the same method as older networks (Merkle trees), which allows it to work much faster. Instead of processing transactions one after another, Quilibrium can handle many at the same time if they don't conflict with each other. As Quilibrium grows and adds more shards, it could become even faster. The network is designed to organize itself to work as efficiently as possible. $QUIL

2.0 Upgrade: Mainnet Certain scenarios were identified with the dynamic fee market that can impact performance on the network in ways that could operate as a griefing vector. A root cause is being identified, but release will need to be held back once more. We are setting a final ETA of 10/10, 11:00pm UTC. We greatly appreciate your patience. status.quilibrium.com/

Quilibrium Inc.’s Commitment to Open Source: Why It’s Built to Last 🛠️ $QUIL $wQUIL 💡 Will Quilibrium Inc. exclusively develop open source applications? Yes, absolutely. QInc. is fully committed to open source, but not just as a buzzword—it’s a foundational principle. 🔒 How does Quilibrium avoid the risks seen in organizations like OpenAI, which started with open source ambitions but later shifted to a closed model? This is a crucial question and one we’ve carefully considered. The cornerstone of our approach is the license we’ve chosen: the AGPL (Affero General Public License). 📜 Why the AGPL? Historically, popular open source projects—such as certain database systems—licensed under permissive licenses like the GPL have been co-opted by major companies. For example, corporations like Amazon have taken these projects, built proprietary versions, and monetized them without contributing back. Essentially, they’ve profited off the unpaid labor of the open source community. Quilibrium’s AGPL licensing prevents this. The AGPL requires that if a company modifies and deploys the software (even as a service), those changes must be shared with the community. This levels the playing field and keeps corporations from exploiting open source work for their gain without giving back. 🤝 No Contributor License Agreements (CLAs): Another safeguard we’ve implemented is refusing to adopt Contributor License Agreements (CLAs). Many projects require CLAs, which transfer copyright of contributed code to the organization overseeing the project. This creates a loophole that allows companies to relicense the project later and make it closed source. By avoiding CLAs, Quilibrium ensures that the community retains control. No single entity—including Quilibrium Inc.—can unilaterally decide to relicense the project or close its source. 🌐 Why This Matters: Protecting the Open Source Ecosystem: Our AGPL license ensures every contributor, including Quilibrium itself, must share improvements with the community. Preventing Exploitation: By rejecting permissive licensing and CLAs, we ensure corporations can’t hijack the project for proprietary gain. Trust Through Transparency: These measures create a system where open source values are baked into the very foundation of Quilibrium, ensuring they remain intact over time. Bottom Line: Quilibrium isn’t just committed to open source—it’s architected to ensure that commitment can’t be compromised. The AGPL and our no-CLA policy make it clear: open source isn’t just a strategy; it’s the heart of everything we do.

🧠 Quilibrium's Proof of Meaningful Work Explained In the world of decentralized networks, Quilibrium's Proof of Meaningful Work (PoMW) stands out as a groundbreaking approach to consensus. Let's unpack this innovative mechanism and see how it's reshaping the landscape of distributed computing. ⏳ The Time Factor At the heart of PoMW lies a clever use of time. Quilibrium employs Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs) to create a universal, tamper-proof clock for the network. These VDFs ensure that a specific amount of sequential computation has occurred, making it impossible to parallelize or cheat the system. The network aims for a 10-second interval between each "tick" of this clock, providing a reliable heartbeat for all operations. 📊 Data Management Reimagined Unlike traditional blockchains, Quilibrium doesn't simply string together blocks of transactions. Instead, it uses a sophisticated sharding system to manage data. The network employs a two-tier approach: > A global partition index using a 256-bit bloom filter > A core shard index using a 65,536-bit bloom filter This system allows for an astronomical number of potential data partitions, far exceeding the number of atoms in the universe. Each core shard can hold up to 1GB of data, which is then compressed and proven using polynomial commitments. This approach enables efficient data proving with minimal communication overhead. ⚡ Computation That Counts PoMW doesn't just store data; it processes it meaningfully. The system uses garbled circuits to perform computations privately. These circuits break down complex operations into simple bitwise operations, allowing for precise cost calculations based on computational complexity. Quilibrium supports both "live" online computation and offline computation with zero-knowledge proofs, offering flexibility for different use cases. 💰 Economic Incentives The economic model of PoMW is designed to align incentives with network growth and maintenance. Key features include: > Rewards based on data availability proofs > Generational epochs to account for hardware improvements over time > A decay factor in rewards based on the number of provers for each shard > Dynamic pricing for resource consumption This model encourages long-term participation and efficient resource allocation while preventing centralization. 🌟 Why It Matters PoMW addresses several key challenges in decentralized systems: > Scalability: By efficiently managing data and computation, it can potentially handle millions of operations per second. > Privacy: The use of garbled circuits and zero-knowledge proofs ensures strong privacy guarantees. > Fairness: The economic model resists centralization and rewards meaningful contributions. > Efficiency: Unlike Proof of Work, every computation in PoMW serves a practical purpose.

$QUIL Quilbrium 🤝 $NIL Nillion No need to compete, we need both.

Comprehensive recap of (some) of the topics of the latest stream with Cassie. $QUIL Stream: piped.video/watch?v=tsv1i9x2… Playlist: piped.video/playlist?list=PL… ## The 2.0 Launch Delay: Addressing Critical Vulnerabilities The much-anticipated Quilibrium 2.0 launch has encountered a hurdle that necessitates a brief delay. ### Uncovering the Vulnerability At the core of this delay is a newly discovered vulnerability in the network's issuance curve. Cassie explained that the current system could potentially be exploited by malicious actors to manipulate token issuance. This exploitation method could allow an attacker to flood the network with large proofs, contributing to the network's state size without incurring significant costs. The result? A potential reduction of token issuance to nearly zero, striking at the heart of the network's cryptoeconomic incentives. ### The Solution: A New Transaction Fee System To counter this vulnerability, the Quilibrium team is implementing a new, mandatory transaction fee system. Unlike the previous optional structure, this new system will be integrated into the very execution of transactions. This change aims to create a robust disincentive against potential attacks while ensuring the network's long-term stability and fairness. ### Revised Launch Timeline While the exact launch date remains fluid, Cassie confidently stated that the 2.0 version would be released no later than the end of the month. This timeline allows for thorough testing and implementation of the new fee structure, balancing the need for security with the community's eagerness for the launch. ## Node Participation and Rewards: Encouraging Long-term Commitment ### The Seniority-based System Quilibrium employs a sophisticated seniority-based system for prioritizing nodes in prover rings, which are crucial components of the network's architecture. This system is designed to reward long-term commitment to the network, with nodes that have participated for longer periods gaining higher priority in these rings. ### Accumulating and Maintaining Seniority Nodes accumulate seniority based on their active participation across different network eras, with recent activity weighted more heavily. Interestingly, there's a penalty for extended inactivity. If a node operator stops running their node for a significant period, they may lose some of their accumulated seniority, affecting their priority when they rejoin the network. ### Node Clustering: Powering Up the Network Cassie highlighted the network's support for node clustering, a feature that allows operators to combine multiple nodes into larger, more powerful units. This approach is encouraged as it leads to better overall network performance and efficiency. The network has seen a trend towards more powerful nodes, with the average number of cores per node increasing from 11 to 48 in recent times. ## Future Developments: Building a Robust Ecosystem ### Enhanced Compatibility Looking towards the future, Cassie hinted at several exciting developments in the pipeline. Work is ongoing on S3 compatibility and KMS (Key Management Service) compatibility. These features would significantly enhance the network's utility and ease of integration with existing cloud infrastructure, potentially opening up new use cases and applications. ### Engaging with App Developers Cassie alluded to active engagement with potential application developers. While specific details remain under wraps, it's clear that the Quilibrium team is laying the groundwork for a robust ecosystem of decentralized applications. These developers are either actively building or planning to build on the Quilibrium network, leveraging its unique features and capabilities. ### A Promising Horizon Cassie discussed these future developments. It suggests that once the 2.0 launch is complete, we can expect a flurry of announcements and new projects entering the Quilibrium ecosystem. This forward-looking approach, combined with the team's commitment to security and stability, paints a promising picture for Quilibrium's future in the decentralized internet landscape. ===== ## Q&A Session Q: I'd like to ask about network in/outflow monitoring. I've heard that many nodes on the network are not being properly maintained with the latest version. How is this being managed? A: Yes, that’s correct. According to the logs, there are quite a few nodes that haven’t been updated yet. Some of these nodes have been converted into more powerful nodes to obtain greater rewards. As of now, the network is operating stably and is being managed within the emission curve. We expect it to remain within this safe range until the end of the month. Q: Can you explain what Prover rings are? A: Prover rings are a structure that connects shards within the network. Essentially, there are three layers of shards: global shards, core shards, and data blocks. Each shard level can have its own Prover ring. The deeper the shard level, the higher the rewards, incentivizing the growth of the network. To participate in a Prover ring, nodes must enter a queue system where messages are prioritized for inclusion in the network based on seniority. Q: How is the bridge function for network transactions progressing? A: We do not plan to open the bridge function until after Quilibrium 2.0 is launched. This is a complex feature, and we will not be utilizing it until then. Q: Can we continue to operate clusters after the 2.0 launch? A: Yes, clusters can continue to operate, and it's actually highly recommended. The structure has become more logically efficient than before, and operating more clusters will be beneficial for the network. Q: How are new nodes added to Prover rings? A: After the 2.0 launch, when a new node joins the network, it will announce its node ID, specifications, and capabilities. Then, it will search for the most needed shard area and apply to join the Prover ring for that shard. The age of the node plays a crucial role in this process. Older nodes are prioritized, while those that haven’t been active for an extended period will have a lower priority. Q: Does the latest update affect the network’s capacity? A: No, the network’s capacity remains unchanged. The update only modifies the economic incentives. Previously, storing data could impact the emission curve, but with the introduction of the proving and fee system, malicious behavior will now be disincentivized. Q: What is the minimum upload speed required for nodes running in multiple home environments? A: A bandwidth of approximately 50 Mbps is needed. However, if the connection speed is insufficient, you can use the offline proving model, where nodes only replicate data instead of participating in the online proving model. Q: Have you experimented with CUDA support yet? A: Not yet. While CUDA integration for some offline proving methods seemed promising, the performance was still quite slow, even with CUDA. Q: Will the new fee update affect the estimated release date for streaming video? A: We are working to get 2.0 out as soon as possible, and any subsequent network upgrades will follow their own adjusted timelines accordingly.

Why Quilibrium Is Not Your Typical Blockchain 🌟 📊 Data Structure Reimagined Unlike the linear chain of blocks in a blockchain, Q uses a "hypergraph." This sophisticated web of information allows for more flexible and efficient data handling. 🔒 Privacy at the Core While many blockchains offer transparent transactions, Q prioritizes privacy from the ground up. This fundamental difference ensures that user data remains confidential by default. ⚙️ A New Consensus Approach Q introduces "Proof of Meaningful Work" instead of Proof of Work or Stake. This mechanism rewards computations that provide actual value to the network, promoting efficiency. 📈 Built to Scale Q's architecture is designed for seamless scalability. Unlike some blockchains that slow down as they grow, Q aims to maintain performance as the network expands. 💾 Smart Data Storage Q employs advanced sharding techniques, allowing for distributed and efficient data storage. This contrasts with many blockchains where each node stores the entire ledger. 🤝 Private Computations Instead of running smart contracts visible to all, Q enables private, multi-party computations. This feature opens up new possibilities for sensitive applications. 💡 Value-Oriented Token Model Q's token economics focus on rewarding data storage and useful computations, moving beyond simple financial transactions common in many blockchain systems. 🔍 The Bigger Picture Quilibrium isn't just an iteration on blockchain technology; it's a fundamental reimagining of decentralized networks. By prioritizing privacy, efficiency, and practical utility, Q aims to address many of the limitations faced by traditional blockchain systems. $QUIL

What applications are actually being built on Quilibrium $QUIL? Are developers actively working on real use cases? What's stopping devs from choosing competitors if there are delays, bugs or lack of funding? More clips from the last Q&A with Quilibrium founder @cass_on_mars are on YouTube: piped.video/playlist?list=PL… $QUIL $wQUIL Transcription: What applications are actually being built on it? Are developers actively working on real use cases? What's stopping devs from choosing competitors if there are delays, bugs or lack of funding? Most of the applications that are planning their move already exist today. They're applications that people are already using today. It's the adaptation/migration to Q that's relevant. That's key to when and how they're going to do so. That aside, net new applications are being built. Quorum itself is going to remain a good showcase of how to best utilize the network. And as part of Quorum symbiosis for Quilibrium itself, we intend to make it easy for applications to embed their functionalities into interactive components. So things like a link to a Dex presenting a swap inside of a conversation, game lobby invite, gifting somebody a skin that is a collectible on the network, but for a given game, sending somebody a token, etc. Another interesting example of this composability that's in progress: there's actually an individual who's already building an LLM that they're integrating with Quorum to be ready to hook into the dexes as soon as they deploy to Q.

Unfortunately, Q seems to be going through a pretty difficult childbirth... but we have a very skilled midwife and plenty of mothers and fathers sending good vibes. 🌟 We'll get there. $QUIL Q 2.0 Mainnet unlock CDN-related issues resulted in node crashes and other unexpected behaviors. We are working on the issue, which will require starting from a new genesis so the folks affected by the error aren't unfairly disadvantaged. We will use a different endpoint to serve this genesis file that will not lock out legitimate traffic at such a crucial moment, which CloudFlare failed us on. We are also going to refine the genesis state fetch behavior slightly to be more streamlined so this does not occur again. This will require an update, which we will announce the availability of as soon as possible. The stasis lock has been restored. We appreciate your understanding.

How Quilibrium Inc. Protects User Metadata in the Quorum Ecosystem 🛡️ $QUIL $wQUIL 🔍 Does the network detect if a user is connected on multiple devices? No. The Quorum ecosystem (quorummessenger.com/) doesn't inherently track users across devices. Quilibrium Inc. has designed its architecture to avoid detecting or monitoring such connections, ensuring privacy by default. 🔒 Can Quilibrium or anyone else access details like the number of connected devices, their names, or their activity? Absolutely not. Quilibrium encrypts all user metadata. The only public information in the ecosystem is a user’s public key. This ensures that even basic details like connected device counts or activity remain inaccessible. 📉 What about apps collecting sensitive metadata like location, IP address, or device details? While Quilibrium can't completely prevent apps from attempting to collect this kind of information, the design of the ecosystem makes it impractical. Harvesting sensitive metadata is a deliberately expensive and inefficient operation. For instance, if an app tries to preload data slots for such metadata, it would incur significant costs and performance trade-offs. This discourages developers from creating privacy-invasive apps. 💡 How does the ecosystem protect against misuse at the protocol level? Applications interacting directly with Quilibrium's protocol cannot access sensitive user information like location, IP address, or device details. This is built into the architecture, ensuring baseline privacy. 👀 What if someone creates an app that tries to bypass these protections? If a developer builds an app to collect sensitive metadata, they can’t bypass the ecosystem's cost-efficiency mechanisms. These apps would not only be expensive to run, but would also likely deter users. Privacy-respecting apps are more efficient, cheaper, and better aligned with the ethos of the Quorum ecosystem, encouraging ethical behavior by design. Bottom Line: On Quilibrium, it’s cheaper, faster, and more practical to do the right thing than to compromise user privacy. By embedding privacy into its design, Quilibrium ensures a network where user trust and data protection come first.

🔑 The Future of Key Management: Why Quilibrium KMS is a Game Changer If you've been around the crypto space long enough, you know one thing for sure: security is everything. And yet, time and time again, we see major exchanges, projects, and individuals losing millions (or even billions) due to weak key management. The latest Bybit hack, where over $1.4 billion in crypto was stolen by North Korea’s Lazarus Group, is just one example of how outdated security practices are failing us. 🔥 Why Current Key Management is a Disaster Waiting to Happen Most companies today rely on hot wallets, multisigs, and custodial solutions that, while appearing secure, have serious flaws: 1️⃣ Hot Wallets Are Constantly at Risk - If a private key touches an internet-connected device, it’s no longer safe. - Hackers use phishing, malware, and social engineering to compromise them. 2️⃣ Multisig Wallets Like Gnosis Safe Are NOT Cold Storage - Exchanges often use Gnosis Safe as "cold storage", but it’s still a smart contract wallet with on-chain interactions. - Attackers can trick signers into approving malicious transactions, which is exactly what happened in the Bybit hack. 3️⃣ Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Traditional Cold Storage Are Cumbersome - High-security setups require physically splitting keys, storing them in vaults, and manually reconstructing them. - This is slow, expensive, and still vulnerable to insider threats. 💡 Enter Quilibrium KMS: The Most Secure Key Management System Ever Designed Quilibrium has completely redefined how private keys are stored, used, and protected. 🔐 How It Works 1️⃣ Keys Are Split at the Source - Instead of storing a full private key anywhere, it is split into multiple encrypted pieces using advanced cryptographic techniques. - No single entity (not even Quilibrium Inc.) ever holds the full key. 2️⃣ Decentralized Computation (MPC) Prevents Exposure - When a key is needed (for signing transactions), the pieces are never recombined in a single place. - Instead, Quilibrium uses secure multiparty computation (MPC), where each fragment contributes to the signature without revealing itself. 3️⃣ Keys Are Purpose-Bound - Unlike normal private keys that can sign anything, Quilibrium’s system binds each key shard to a specific function. - Even if an attacker somehow got access, they couldn’t misuse the key for unauthorized actions. 4️⃣ No Single Point of Failure - Traditional custodians or TEE-based solutions have been hacked many times. - Quilibrium KMS ensures that no single breach can ever compromise the system. 🚀 Why This is a Revolutionary Leap in Security 🔸 Extremely difficult to Steal a Full Key – Since no complete key ever exists in one place, it cannot be leaked, hacked, or stolen. 🔸 Minimized Human Error – Quilibrium KMS drastically reduces the risk of employees exposing keys by decentralizing key handling and removing the need for manual key recombination. 🔸 Ultra-Secure Cold Storage Without the Hassle – Businesses can finally have the security of true cold storage with the flexibility of a hot wallet. 🔸 Regulatory Compliance and Future-Proofing – As crypto regulations tighten, Quilibrium KMS offers the safest way to manage assets, and it's designed to align with modern security and compliance needs. 💭 Final Thoughts For years, we’ve been stuck with mediocre security solutions that require a trade-off between convenience and protection. Quilibrium KMS changes the game completely. With its zero-trust, MPC-based key management, this is hands-down the most advanced security system in the crypto world today. If you're serious about protecting your assets, this is the future. To watch the livestream part dedicated to this topic 👉 piped.video/5sCuLEMBh-8?si=JOL3… $QUIL $wQUIL

Quilibrium Emissions update! 😉 Q's token economy is a beautiful thing, yet is often misunderstood. Q's emissions decline over time, resembling a curve similar to $BTC's "halving" cycle. However, Q's emissions are based on actual network usage, not just time. The only way to ever acquire $QUIL tokens (outside of a brief incentivized testnet in 2023 where an immaterial amount of 50 QUIL vouchers were awarded to early ceremony participants) has been from running nodes. Node operators receive QUIL for their compute contributions to the network ("Proof of Meaningful Work"). The amount of QUIL they receive has reduced drastically as the network has progressed, and issuance will continue to decline as the network matures. Daily QUIL emissions are a function of workers (logical compute units from nodes) and state growth (how much data is stored on the network). So unlike some PoW networks where there is a predictable halving at a set date/block, QUIL halvings are not date defined due to the variables involved. What we do know is that the state will continue to grow, regardless of any additional adoption or use of the network, simply due to the need to maintain the token state which is an application in of itself. As additional applications are deployed to Quilibrium (coming with version 2.1), the state growth will accelerate. Quorum Messenger (QM), released recently by Q Inc., also contributes to state growth. While messages are not stored on the network due to their ephemeral p2p nature, Q Inc. will be providing (optional) content hosting for video/images, which naturally requires storage. This will cause significant growth to the network state over time. Discord, for example, grew to Petabytes of data within a decade. Even if QM captured a fraction of that market, the storage demands would be immense, and that is only one application. The other variable, workers, impacts data shard coverage. To reach maximum theoretical QUIL issuance for a round (each round will target ~10 seconds), you need 1:1 coverage of data shards. When it is less, the issuance for that round is lower. Practically speaking, obtaining 1:1 coverage is very unlikely, so we can calculate emissions based on some assumptions of worker count and state growth over time. ℹ️ For more in depth mathematics behind emissions, you can check out the Quilibrium blog: paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.co… Bringing it all together, with some reasonable assumptions of state growth and miner activity, we can plot the QUIL supply over the next ~8 years, beginning with where we are today and the anticipated release of v2.1. In the chart above, you can see the green line representing the (log) growth of the world state over time, reaching about 1TB in July 2026, 1PB in February 2029, and 1EB in September 2031. Under these conditions we see that issuance drops quickly as the world state approaches 1TB under all miner scenarios, bringing supply growth virtually to a halt around 1.58B QUIL. Under a higher miner participation scenario, this could reach closer to 1.72B but still below the 2B previously estimated over a 10 year period. You'll notice in all scenarios, issuance virtually stops after 2029. By this time, the dynamic fee markets are in play (more on this later), and miners are not receiving rewards from net new issuance, but rather network fees from its use, which was always the intended outcome. Of course, everything presented here is still theoretical, but it is based on conservative scenarios on state growth and miner participation. It illustrates the thoughtfulness that went into the token economy design-- it takes the proven "halving" success of other POW networks and adds adaptability for rapid growth over time. An end state where rewards come from participation, rather than net new issuance, helps ensure a stable token economy for a decentralized Internet. $QUIL $wQUIL

Have you ever wondered how Quilibrium $QUIL can achieve total data privacy while remaining extremely fast and scalable? Here are the Core Technologies, explained for your (inner) child. 🥳 🕒 VDFs (Verifiable Delay Functions) Use: Timestamping and creating proofs of block storage. Think of a VDF as a special puzzle that takes a specific amount of time to solve, like a Rubik’s cube that requires exactly 5 minutes to complete. No matter how many people try to solve it simultaneously, it still takes 5 minutes. This is useful for proving that a certain amount of time has passed. 🎩 Oblivious Transfer (OT) Use: Privacy-preserving computation and querying of the oblivious hypergraph. Think of a magic card trick where you pick a card without the magician seeing it, and somehow they still know what card you picked without revealing the other cards. OT allows one party to transfer one of potentially many pieces of information to another party, but remain oblivious as to which piece was transferred. 🌐 Oblivious Hypergraph (OHG) Use: Central data structure for storing and querying data while maintaining privacy. Imagine a complex web of interconnected ideas, but each person can only see the parts relevant to them. It’s like a giant, multidimensional connect-the-dots puzzle where each person has their own unique view. This allows for complex data relationships while maintaining privacy. 🔒 E2EE Encryption (End-to-End Encryption) Use: Ensuring secure communication between network participants. Imagine sending a letter in a locked box. Only you and the recipient have the key. Even the postal service can’t read the contents. That’s E2EE – your message is secure from the moment you send it until it’s received and decrypted by the intended recipient. 🔁 Triple-Ratchet Use: Secure group communication with perfect forward secrecy. Picture a group of friends with a special set of walkie-talkies. Every time they communicate, the devices automatically change their encryption codes. Even if someone intercepts one message, they can’t decode future or past messages. That’s how Triple-Ratchet keeps group communications secure. 📬 Shuffled Lattice Routing Protocol (SLRP) Use: Providing anonymous routing of messages within the network. Think of a postal system where each letter goes through a series of random post offices before reaching its destination. At each stop, it’s mixed with other letters. This makes it nearly impossible to trace the letter’s origin, ensuring anonymous communication. 🎲 RPM (Random Permutation Mixnet) Use: Enhancing anonymity in message routing. Picture a giant bingo tumbler that thoroughly mixes messages before sending them out. This ensures that no one can trace which message came from where, providing anonymity for senders and receivers. 📡 BlossomSub (modified GossipSub) Use: Efficient and secure message propagation across the network. Imagine a game of telephone, but more efficient. Instead of whispering to just one person, each player tells a few others, quickly spreading the message through the network. BlossomSub does this for data, but with added security and efficiency features.

Are curious how it all began? Presenting... the "Q story". 🌱 Birth 📅 2018 Quilibrium is beginning to take shape in Cassie's mind… while she works on different components of the network, with the idea of creating a private and safe Discord alternative called "Howler". 💀 Internet declared "dead" 📅 August 2021 Cassie's public declaration to pivot towards a fully decentralized direction. Realization that centralized powers exert too much control over user freedom, necessitating a solution beyond just a Discord alternative. 🔄 Redesign Phase 📅 2019 - 2022 Intense period of redesigning the network. Evolved from a blockchain-like structure to a novel design separating data clocks from the master clock, solving sharding coordination problems and improving throughput. 🎭 The Ceremony 📅 April 2023 - March 2023 Launch of a global entropy gathering event to ensure network proof security. Designed for worldwide participation on various devices, garnering contributions from nearly all non-embargoed countries. Q had roughly double the ceremony contributions than Ethereum had to theirs. 🌅 Dawn 📅 September 2023 - February 2024 Pushing Quilibrium to its limits, stress-testing everything from BFT consensus to multi-platform compatibility. A journey of constant rewrites and improvements. 🌆 Dusk 📅 March 1, 2024 Rolling out the clever autoscaling feature. Like giving each node a personal fitness trainer, ensuring they're in top shape to handle their workload efficiently. 🌉 Ethereum bridge 📅 May 13, 2024 Rolling out the Ethereum bridge first version, to allow early node runners to claim their hard-earned tokens as wrapped $QUIL ($wQUIL). 🌃 Midnight (mainnet) 📅 September, 2024 Entering full stealth mode. Onion routing and mixnet will make Quilibrium traffic as mysterious as a moonless night. Privacy levels that would impress even the most discerning security experts. ☯️ Equinox 📅 ETA: TBD Laying the groundwork for serious applications. Think S3-compatible storage, Redis-like databases, and more. Building a Swiss Army knife for decentralized services. 🌌 Event Horizon 📅 ETA: TBD Things get truly advanced. End-to-end encrypted streaming, AI model training, and execution. Essentially building the operating system for a decentralized future.

If X was running on Quilibrium, it would be impossible for a government to track users. Quilibrium will use mixnet and onion routing and what you do on the network stays private, as it should be. And no, this does not open the doors to criminal activities, as explained here: docs.quilibrium.one/start/v/… #QuilibriumSolvesThis $QUIL

If you know of a project that is more unique than $QUIL, please tell me. I am honestly asking! Unique = it's very hard to compare it to other projects in the space (in a good way, of course 😉) 🌟 This is how Quilibrium is unique, in my opinion: > Any other blockchain could use it (to host assets, for instance). > It's very privacy-centric but also has ways to be compliant with laws. > Can scale to an immense number (more than enough for the whole planet and maybe another one). > It's a decentralized protocol, fair-launched, and the token is a commodity. > It's built to be used seamlessly by non-crypto people (for instance... no wallets!). > Probably missing something, but you get the gist.

🌐 Real-World Problems Solved by Quilibrium Having a private, decentralized, and secure internet is the obvious mission—but what problems is Q solving that many online businesses are increasingly starting to face? 🔒 Web2 Security & AI Challenges Web2 is insecure, struggling to cope with the rapid evolution of AI and its capabilities. AI has empowered cybercriminals to launch more advanced attacks, such as: - Automated malware creation - Highly targeted phishing campaigns - Rapid exploitation of system vulnerabilities - Sophisticated data manipulation These threats evolve faster than traditional security measures can adapt, rendering them less effective and significantly increasing the impact of cyberattacks. To counter these challenges, Web2 systems require constant updates and patches. However, this reactive approach introduces new complexities, making systems more prone to failure and significantly more expensive to maintain. Additionally, the vast amount of data processed by AI overwhelms Web2 infrastructure, causing an alarming surge in data breaches. 📂 The Risks of Data Breaches Organizations are obligated to securely store client data and comply with strict regulation. Failure to do so comes with steep consequences. A breach can expose sensitive information, including personal details, financial records, or medical data, which leads to: - Identity theft and fraud - Loss of customer trust and business opportunities - Legal penalties, operational disruptions, and reputational damage In the third quarter of 2024 alone, more than 422 million records were exposed in data breaches worldwide. On average, each breach cost organizations $4.88 million, demonstrating the heavy financial toll these incidents impose. 🌟 Quilibrium: The Next-Generation Solution Quilibrium presents a revolutionary approach to these challenges.

Starting tomorrow, I will launch the hashtag: #QuilibriumSolvesThis Highlighting historic internet issues (data leaks, censorship, etc.) that Q could prevent. Use this hashtag to discuss problems Q might solve. Join the conversation! $QUIL

Facebook owns 80% of mobile social traffic. Google owns 92% of search. And Amazon Web Services is bigger than their next four competitors combined. They track our every move. They monitor every moment in our lives, and they exploit our data for profit. And you can ask them all the questions you want, but they're not going to change. They don't have to. These companies are kings. And they rule over kingdoms far larger than any nation in human history. They won. We lost. Congressman: "So, why are you here? " Because look at where we are. We are in the seat of the US government. A government that was founded by people who were at one point ruled by kings they couldn't overthrow. So what did they do? They started over. They came here to the new world. World 2.0, version 1776. And the way we win is by creating a new democratic, decentralized internet. One where the behavior of companies like this will be impossible forever. One where it is the users, not the kings, who have sovereign control over their data. This I promise to you. I will help you end this tyranny by building an Internet that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. So help me God. $QUIL $wQUIL #LLTI The clip is from the TV series Silicon Valley, Season 6, Episode 1, titled Artificial Lack of Intelligence, which premiered on October 27, 2019.

Another great promo video from community member @LookDragi! 🙏 Quilibrium's community is growing stronger by the day, with many members contributing to code, testing, promotion, education, and more. Once you get Q-pilled, there’s no turning back! $QUIL

1/7 Let's talk about the future of computing! Here are the raw specs of three groundbreaking projects: Quilibrium, Ethereum 2.0, and Solana. Buckle up for some mind-bending numbers! 🧵 #Q $wQUIL $QUIL $ETH $SOL

📍Major Update to the Q1 node installation script Now it will also: - upgrade the machine, install necessary apps, setup fail2ban and firewall - autogenerate the config.yml and set the gRPC endpoint So... what before was a 3 step process: Prepare server & Reboot » Install Node » Set gRPC Now is just a 1 step process: Install Node & Reboot ⚡️ The Q1 menu has also been updated to reflect this simpler flow for new users. In case you have issues with the new node installation script, you could still use the old method, as those old scripts still exist. Just let me know if you need the URLs (I have yet to find a final home for the legacy scripts). Finally: reminder to join the Q1 Telegram channel for updates and announcements on all Q1 scripts >> t.me/quilibriumone

📌Quilibrium 2.0 launch update The work on changing how fees are set is going well. Cassie has figured out how to stop people from unfairly taking over parts of the system. She will write a full blog post in the next day or so. This post will explain how these changes will affect fees and rewards for people who help run the system. She's sticking to the same timeline she mentioned before (end of month). If it is earlier, she'll make sure to let people know in advance. To get these micro-updates in real time, follow: quilibrium.discourse.group/t…

Here is the latest article by Cassie to help understand a little better: - what the 2.0 launch process is going to be like - what the circumstances are of being a prover on mainnet - how to think about seniority as a factor when winding down or spinning up new hardware At the end, there are also a few assorted questions that are frequently asked. paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.co…

📌Quilibrium 2.0 launch update... home stretch! Stage 4, and the final check have begun! In this stage we test what happens when bandwidth is constrained to incredibly bad conditions (~10Mbps). how do we cope, does it handle things correctly, or does it degrade severely enough that bootstrap nodes have to be guardians? This final stage will probably take us into Sunday, but the finish line is near 🏁 $QUIL #Q

Quilibrium solves this - $QUIL 🚫 Free speech censored: COVID-19 Information Control on Social Media Platforms (2020-2022) Major social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube implemented strict content moderation policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. While aiming to combat misinformation, these policies led to widespread censorship of diverse viewpoints, including those of medical professionals and scientists. #QuilibriumSolvesThis

2000 followers mark reached! I want to thank all of you for supporting this unofficial channel as well as Q. I'll keep posting as much as I can and sharing our vision. Bowing to you cypherpunks, dreamers and freedom lovers. $QUIL

Quilibrium solves this - $QUIL 🔌 Centralized failure: Amazon Web Services Outage (2021) A major outage of Amazon Web Services in December 2021 took down large portions of the internet, affecting services like Netflix, Disney+, Robinhood, and even Amazon's own delivery operations. This event highlighted the dangers of over-reliance on centralized cloud services and the potential for widespread disruption from a single point of failure. #QuilibriumSolvesThis

🪙 Quilibrium Tokenomics: Designed for a Truly Decentralized Internet Most crypto tokenomics models are built for speculation. Quilibrium’s are built for a mission: securing every bit of web traffic in a decentralized way. To achieve this, Quilibrium needed a radically different economic model—one that avoids centralization, ensures long-term sustainability, and adapts as the network grows. Let’s break it down. 🔄 Generational Mining: A Self-Sustaining Model Instead of following a fixed reward schedule, Quilibrium introduces Generational Mining, where token emissions are tied to real network progress. - Mining rewards are tied to milestones in computational work. - Once that milestone is hit, emissions reset, ensuring fair rewards for new participants. - This prevents early adopters from dominating and keeps incentives fresh. The first major milestone? 100 million iterations, estimated around 2033. After that, a new emission phase begins, making mining profitable for future participants and encouraging miners to add more compute power to the network. Each generational reset results in a temporary emissions increase before gradually declining again, ensuring sustained miner incentives and long-term network security (see the image below). The above chart shows an estimate of the emissions for the first generation, with about 1.6 to 1.7 BB tokens reached in 2033. N.B. Because the emissions are dynamic, we can only make projections. 🛡️ Proof of Meaningful Work (PoMW): Decentralization by Design Traditional Proof-of-Work mining leads to centralization—big mining pools dominate, and small miners get squeezed out. Quilibrium fixes this with Proof of Meaningful Work (PoMW): - The network is divided into millions of shards, preventing any single entity from taking over. - Every miner must do verifiable work, ensuring fairness and preventing fake participation. - Mining difficulty adapts to hardware, allowing even small devices to contribute. This ensures a truly decentralized network, where security and rewards are distributed fairly. ⏳ Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs): A Smarter Approach to Rewards Unlike Bitcoin, where emissions decrease over time no matter what, Quilibrium’s rewards are governed by Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs). This means: ✅ Rewards are based on actual network progress, not arbitrary time cuts. ✅ New miners always have fair incentives to participate. ✅ The network adapts, ensuring long-term sustainability. 🌎 A Tokenomics Model for the Future of the Internet Quilibrium isn’t just another crypto project. It’s a self-sustaining network for securing web traffic—and its tokenomics are designed to make that possible. - No VC allocations, no airdrops—just pure, fair mining. - Mining stays accessible and profitable across generations. - The system evolves alongside technological advancements, rather than becoming obsolete. Tokenomics aren’t just about numbers. They shape the future of networks. Quilibrium is making sure that the future stays decentralized. 👉Learn more about Q tokenomics: docs.quilibrium.one/start/wi… $QUIL $wQUIL
