I see that Quip Network @quipnetwork's testnet has recently gone live, and I have some thoughts.

D-Wave's Advantage2™ quantum computer has already demonstrated faster and more energy-efficient performance than traditional classical computers in scenarios like logistics, manufacturing, and financial modeling. Quip Network introduces this quantum computing capability into blockchain, allowing participants to contribute computing power by solving real optimization problems and earn QUIP rewards, rather than just competing on hash rate.
This makes me think that blockchain computation might gradually shift toward generating some actual value.
The testnet is currently fully open source, with the code hosted on GitHub, accessible to anyone. The network is open to the global community—whether you use quantum resources, GPUs, or regular CPUs, you can participate. Over 13,000 researchers and developers have already signed up.
One aspect I pay close attention to is that they incorporated quantum resistance mechanisms from the design stage. In the post-quantum era, many traditional signature algorithms may face risks. Quip Network not only tries to leverage quantum computing to improve blockchain efficiency but also provides protection for assets on chains like EVM and Solana, and users can participate without transferring funds.
Currently, the project is in the testnet phase. Postquant Labs has partnered with D-Wave to build the first quantum subnet, aiming to enable more people to practically engage with and test quantum applications in blockchain.
I personally think that these kinds of efforts to combine quantum computing with blockchain are worth watching—they are preparing some foundational infrastructure for the future.
