Ethereum (ETH) vs Quant (QNT)

Ethereum is the pioneer in the field of distributed and programmable blockchains. Launched in 2015, this project forever revolutionized the world of cryptocurrencies by introducing the concept of smart contracts, a computer protocol that allows for the programming of complex operations on a blockchain. These have enabled the creation of decentralized applications that have led to the emergence of new sectors including NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, Web3, and many others. Initially designed on a Proof of Work mechanism, Ethereum underwent a major change in 2022 by migrating to a Proof of Stake consensus. At the heart of this ecosystem, ETH is the native cryptocurrency and is used to pay transaction fees, reward validators, and contribute to the governance of the project.

Quant Network is a service provider for developers, whose overall ambition is to build interoperability between blockchains and distributed ledgers of various ecosystems. Quant's technology, called Overledger, sits on top of existing blockchains and enables the development of multi-chain decentralized applications, meaning those that rely on multiple networks simultaneously.
