Qtum has allied with Celer to provide off-chain scaling solutions

Celer Network and QTUM recently announced a collaboration to develop and integrate Celer Network’s off-chain scaling solutions to QTUM. Both teams will work closely on developing and integrating Celer Network’s off-chain scaling solutions in QTUM, with the shared vision of enabling Internet-scale applications on public blockchains and bringing dApp to mass adoption and real-world use cases.

Celer Network, as a layer-2 scaling platform, will develop and integrate its off-chain scaling solutions on top of QTUM to further boost its scalability. With QTUM as the underlying security layer, Celer Network’s generalized state channel and sidechain suite (cChannel) and provably-optimal state routing algorithm (cRoute) can provide QTUM with another dimension of unlimited scalability. Celer Network’s cOS also provides a friendly development framework and application runtime that allows the QTUM community to easily access the off-chain solutions and scale their applications to millions of users.

According to Dr. Mo Dong, Co-founder of Celer Network, “With its novel technical solutions such as X86 virtual machine, QTUM brings unprecedented intelligence and platform interoperability into blockchain systems, which enables next-generation decentralized applications that meets actual business need. Celer Network has the same vision of bringing Internet-scale to every blockchain. With the vibrant community and the solid team from both QTUM and Celer, we look forward to seeing Internet-scale decentralized applications go mainstream.”

Howard, core developer from QTUM also agreed that, the “Celer Network is the most advanced and coherent layer-2 scaling platform. With a clean layered architecture, generalized state channels that support arbitrary state exchanges, high-performance state routing and sophisticated, easy-to-use SDK and cOS. Additionally, Celer used its routing algorithm to find the best path of Lightning Network, which solved the problem of deposit scarcity. Celer Network can greatly improve the scalability and enable more dApps on top of QTUM. We believe Celer Network and QTUM together can really make decentralized applications mainstream.”

With the aligned vision and the complementary technical stacks, QTUM and Celer Network has agreed to form a strategic alliance. This strategic partnership includes offering mutually early access of SDKs to each other and linking both sides’ tech team to ensure optimal collaboration and integration. Celer Network looks forward to working with QTUM to build blockchain ecosystems that are scalable, prosperous and sustainable.
