Qtum Core

Qtum core updates normally consist of Qtum Improvement Proposals. These QIPs are generated by both our developers and the community and in some cases requests from enterprise users. Our developers evaluate the impact of each QIP and work on high priority QIPs. All bug fixes and feature enhancements that have been issued to the core project will be listed here.

•    Continue port Bitcoin 0.19.0.1 to Qtum (code implementation: https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/pull/804)
•    Preliminary design specification and QIP for Qtum offline staking
•    Fix some Python testcases

Qtum Neutron & x86 Virtual Machine

Qtum Neutron is the infrastructure to support new virtual machines and the first will be the x86 virtual machine allowing smart contract development in C, Rust and other languages. The EVM will continue, but the x86 VM will allow easy creation of smart contracts using safe, well-known, mature languages and tools, and also provide a new state memory model using DeltaDB.

•    aaa, aas, aam, aad implemented
•    daa and das implemented - (code implementation: https://github.com/qtumproject/qx86-rs/pull/52
•    Update x86 documentation on https://x86.qtum.org/

Qtum Explorer & Wallets

The Qtum Explorer is our blockchain explorer that is used for viewing transaction details on the Qtum blockchain. The primary blockchain explorer site is qtum.info. We frequently release updates to both explorer and the web wallet sites. Additionally, you’ll find information regarding the official Qtum Electrum wallet and support/feature updates to hardware wallets or other interesting services/products

Qtum.info Explorer

Qtum.Info, as the official blockchain browser of Qtum, mainly provides information such as network status, transaction records, data indicators of blockchain and visual charts. Qtum users, exchanges, wallets, mining pools, and other commonly used data service tools.

Qtum SDK

QtumJ is BitcoinJ ported to the Qtum blockchain protocol. The BitcoinJ library is a Java implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, which allows it to maintain a wallet and send/receive transactions without needing a local copy of Bitcoin Core. It comes with full documentation and some example apps showing how to use it.

Big things are happening in qtum, progress is amazing, hard work will be rewarded.

New features in the powerful Qtum Explorer including network overview, staking page, transaction types labeling and subscriptions.

This Explorer user interface refresh is the latest update in HMI (Human-Machine Interface) from the Qtum graphics designers and user interface developers using colors, fonts, and icons to represent relatively complex blockchain data. But don’t let the pretty pages fool you, this Explorer is a sophisticated blockchain “power tool.”

The Coronavirus epidemic has become more serious and the blockchain industry is responding positively to support Wuhan. On January 27, 2020, the Qtum Chain Foundation donated 200,000 yuan (about US$ 28,800) to the Hubei Charity Federation for virus epidemic prevention and control. It is reported that the donated funds will be used to purchase epidemic prevention supplies, provide family pensions for deaths due to the epidemic, and for insurance, protective gear and living allowances for volunteers.

onetwo12, design will be released this quarter with more details, but smart contract for delegation and online nodes providing staking with immediate payouts for each block reward.

Dpos is centralized, seems they plan let the smart contract be the delegator.. not a node.
also for dpos.. you can not get your reward automatically.. some times your reward based on your trust of the delegator..
i think that's the big difference.

also i think the Confidential Asset is a good feature.. just image you can release an anonymous USDT on Qtum.

@magisterr, Qtum offline staking will not be DPoS. It will be delegating offline wallet addresses and their UTXOs to online staking services nodes. Qtum already has one of the most decentralized networks and offline staking will add new PoS nodes to the network, increasing decentralization. That is different from DPoS, which may have two dozen validators/stakers, or less.

But this is not new and something unique. A lot of projects have DPoS already. I meants something unique and usefull with real usecase of tokens.

Phantom is interesting and much needed feature, They're also going to implement delegation system, Which probably going to appeal to a lot of people, Everyone will be able to earn interest risk free without having to run a node themselves.

Roadmap for this year is not so impressive... Just may be Qtum Fhantom will be interesting.. but this is not something new. For example Tomochain is doing the same thing.
