Q Announcements

Q Protocol 🤝 Internet Computer

2025 starts with a major integration: “ICP Chain Fusion Governance Modules” connect Q’s unique governance capabilities with the ICP ecosystem.

Via Chain Fusion Governance Modules, DAOs on Q can govern any canister (ICP’s smart-contract equivalent) on ICP. This enables new use cases, for example cross-chain treasuries on ICP that are governed on Q.

Via Chain Fusion, assets can also be held and governed on other chains like Arbitrum, BASE, Optimism and Polygon. Moreover, Q ecosystem projects gain access to tools and capabilities of ICP.

The project has been generously supported by a 25k USD developer grant from DFINITY Foundation.

DePINs promise a decentralized future, bridging the physical world with blockchain technology. However, regulatory hurdles, scalability issues, and security concerns hinder widespread adoption.

To address these challenges, innovative governance solutions like Q suggest a path forward. By enforcing rules and conditions beyond code, Q Protocol enhances fairness and neutrality, facilitating broader adoption and real-world impact.

The CCA Token Summit 2024 Liechtenstein was a gathering of thought leaders from across the blockchain space exploring the blockchain’s legal fundamentals and how they are shaping up both locally and globally.

Martin Schmidt, contributor to Q Protocol, shared his perspective on governance security in Web3. He emphasized that sufficient decentralization means achieving a level of security even higher than traditional systems.

Dr. Clara Guerra from the Liechtenstein Government pointed out that when it comes to regulations and technology, “sometimes we cannot tweak the old models, we have to rethink them entirely.”

The event offered a fresh take on governance, regulation, and the future of Web3.

🧵 In the fast-paced crypto world, DAOs have become a game changer. But it’s not all good vibes. Remember THE DAO hack in 2016, when an attacker almost got away with 3.6M ETH? A single code error led to an exploit that would be worth $8.7B at today’s ETH price! Fast forward to 2024, hacks & exploits are still crashing the DAO party. Let’s talk about it👇 https://x.com/QBlockchain/status/1837026430351286613
