Q Rude FAQ - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Q-Rude-FAQ?index=0x6645a75146d680be6e3aff8515a819b0a288f0a3de977b59290d7c6abf66d92f4d220819 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/q-rude-faq - Shared 16 May 2024, 5 upvotes, 0 comments Quilibrium development leader writes a curt FAQ addressing the project's mission to secure web traffic by decentralizing servers, storage and traffic, and comparing it to Ethereum, Solana, Internet Computer/Dfinity and IPVM. The author says Q's whitepaper was a mistake in complexity and that a litepaper and yellowpaper should have come first. The post states that the wQUIL bridge launched early, that the total supply at bridge instantiation was 561,246,480.536822 QUIL, and that the next release, 1.4.18, targets the week of 2024/05/24. It also says the network's first generation may reach 1 to 2 billion QUIL. ## 2. ELI5: Quilibrium - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/ELI5-Quilibrium?index=0x66b64bb895cb3e1c6a30c3d8bf1f9f45f4ced340d9eca6664b505610f688a2d82ccccbd1 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/eli5-quilibrium - Shared 9 August 2024, 4 upvotes, 0 comments This ELI5 explainer walks through the architecture of Quilibrium, using tree houses, tin cans and string as metaphors for its components, with a high-school algebra version alongside. It describes layered "envelope" routing, in which messages are wrapped for successive relays and each hop batches and shuffles messages so timing cannot reveal who is talking to whom. For group secrecy, it shows how participants can jointly derive a shared secret from random coefficients and their individual values, which is then changed with each message to provide forward and future secrecy. The article also covers oblivious lookup, where a helper can serve a requested item without learning which one was requested, and says it omits many details. ## 3. A Taste of the Future (by @cassie on fc) - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/A-Taste-of-the-Future-by-cassie-on-fc?index=0x66007ff265a3df6f23e7f144f010d5d635176ef03471e19b1612a54384afd1b6adb2f013 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/doom-on-frames - Shared 24 March 2024, 4 upvotes, 0 comments Quilibrium's blog describes how it ran Doom inside a Farcaster Frame by streaming video through MJPEG, using its planned metaVM. The author says the frame image URL returns an MJPEG stream of raw JPEG images, which browsers can display without special video support, and a Next.js handler sends frames to all open connections. Keyboard inputs from frame buttons are sent as key down and key up events, and the framebuffer is converted to JPEGs with node-canvas. The author says the build took two hours, and the metaVM it relies on is described as launching later this year. ## 4. An Epitaph for Blockchain - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/An-Epitaph-for-Blockchain?index=0x65b2091006d5a8efd1602d157427d643f3499b628cb04aeba9d4f6b27f43a5c41140b263 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/an-epitaph-for-blockchain - Shared 25 January 2024, 3 upvotes, 0 comments The author compares the crypto industry to the early personal computer industry, using Steve Jobs's 1984 Macintosh unveiling as a frame. The central claim is that blockchain is a stepping stone, comparable to the hobbyist-era minicomputer or breadboard kit, rather than the foundation to build on. The piece cites ZK tech, MPC, VDFs and Data Availability Sampling as research parallels, and argues that many in the industry cling to existing entrants instead of pursuing what could be. It also contrasts Apple, which took Xerox research and made it usable at home, with IBM, which dismissed earlier technologies. ## 5. Dynamic Fee Markets - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Dynamic-Fee-Markets?index=0x66ef27293629af617740d9496dcc908bd6e775f2599c549ebd234c7bf1392190d533bb4a - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/dynamic-fee-markets - Shared 21 September 2024, 2 upvotes, 0 comments Quilibrium proposes a protocol-level data fee market that prices settled data and execution proofs in bytes, which pushes the 2.0 release window further out. Proofs can be made much larger than the data they settle, so an attacker could use them to halt emissions, and execution caps are rejected in favor of continuations once a circuit boundary is reached. Baseline fees are recalibrated at each difficulty interval from the emissions impact of new state growth, with a floor of 0.000000000125 QUIL per byte. Provers set a multiplier capped at the lowest multiplier committed across their ring's last eight proving windows, and node operators can join rings to lower prices. ## 6. Quil Builder's Guide - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Quil-Builders-Guide?index=0x667d0b01609b73bad69095dd5907267f9249fc56321947ea101fb89ad3dbbf3918c57889 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/quil-builders-guide - Shared 27 June 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments This guide, written by a developer who has worked on Quilibrium's technology for several years, argues that the network's first practical uses are the ones that mirror existing storage patterns, such as object storage, key-value stores and general computation, with the answer to "what can I build" being anything and everything in the long run. It states that Quilibrium's most intuitive base use cases revolve around fetching and storing structured data on the network. The guide says applications are written in a variant of Go, where function arguments between parties must be explicitly sized, and it gives a short MPC signing example using Ed448 as the first demonstration. It also warns that MPC programs must avoid early or conditional termination that could leak inputs. ## 7. Fireside Chat: PoMW, Multiproofs, and 1.4.19 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Fireside-Chat-PoMW-Multiproofs-and-1419?index=0x666174eedf04c984fc0a56ef657fb1276baf7c0eada00f9d2cfaa665a16602cb608b6e13 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/fireside-chat-pomw,-multiproofs,-and-v1419 - Shared 6 June 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments Quilibrium's recent Proof of Meaningful Work (PoMW) changes include release 1.4.19, which adds performance improvements and begins integrating KZG proofs into PoMW. Network state, counting new accounts and active Ethereum bridge addresses, has reached roughly 800,000 and grows by about 40,000 each week. Multiproofs remain necessary while the network has fewer cores than the minimum replication factor of 24 requires, and the network currently issues 240 QUIL per 10-second interval. Node operators should keep their data store and make backups, since it is needed to claim rewards when 2.0 launches. ## 8. Mission Above All - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Mission-Above-All?index=0x663f128af31d846c36d8e49cdd41100decc0fb3fce6d438751c395cb7ba83c082c8389b0 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/mission-above-all - Shared 11 May 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments Quilibrium has removed its 1.5 release from the roadmap and will move directly from 1.4 to 2.0, citing the network's growth from about 9,000 peers to over 100,000 in roughly two and a half months. The team says opening the network to permissionless applications and token interactions during rapid protocol changes threatened the protocol's safety, and that MEV on other networks shows how such exploitation could undermine fairness. Starting this week, the team plans to begin rolling out a cross-chain bridge that lets node operators claim earned tokens as wrapped QUIL via ERC-20, beginning with an MPC-based contract on Ethereum. Tokens earned after that contract's deployment will not be cross-mintable until 2.0 is released, and claiming is optional.
