This repository contains the qbit node, wallet, GUI, and developer tooling.
qbit is based on Bitcoin Core v30.2, but it is a distinct chain with qbit
network identity, qbit binaries, qbit data directories, P2MR launch-chain
wallet outputs, PQC signing, ASERT/Cadence/AuxPoW mining, archive/full-history
defaults, opt-in witness pruning, and archive bootstrap fallback through
-connectarchive.
Current public status and launch resources are published through https://qbit.org. Qbit v1.0.0 launches mainnet; commands without a chain flag select mainnet by default.
The public testnet4 network remains available with -testnet4 or
-chain=testnet4. The v1.0.0 source pins mainnet AuxPoW chain ID 47, the
mined genesis block, and the genesis-bound ASERT launch anchor.
The qbit source is open, so third parties can fork it or run private networks. Only qbit-published artifacts, tags, release notes, seed resources, and qbit.org announcements define official qbit networks.
