A long‑running Bitcoin‑based smart contract platform evolves into a modern AI and compute ecosystem
Singapore, June 4th, 2026, Qtum Foundation- Qtum today announced the expansion of its ecosystem with Qtum.ai, a text‑to‑video generation platform, and the upcoming Qtum AI Router, a unified inference layer designed to provide efficient access to multiple AI models. Together, these services position Qtum as a blockchain‑supported AI infrastructure network built on a stable, long‑running Proof‑of‑Stake blockchain that has operated continuously since 2017.
Qtum’s approach combines its Bitcoin‑based UTXO architecture, EVM‑compatible smart contracts, and a reliable, production‑ready blockchain with modern AI tooling, GPU compute, and creator‑focused workflows. The result is an ecosystem that spans blockchain infrastructure, decentralized compute, and AI generation tools under a single brand.
Qtum.ai: Text‑to‑Video for Creators and Developers
Qtum.ai provides cinematic text‑to‑video generation using models such as Seedance 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 and HappyHorse. The platform is designed for creators, developers, and businesses seeking high‑quality AI video without subscription barriers.
Key characteristics include:
-
- No credit card required
- No recurring subscription
- No token packs or prepaid bundles
- Pay‑as‑you‑go usage
- No data harvesting or model training on user content
- No cookies, tracking pixels, or ad‑retargeting
- Authentication via MetaMask Snap or Google login
- 500 Free tokens
This model removes common friction points in AI services, including subscription lock‑in, credit‑card anxiety, and persistent marketing emails. Users can generate videos without entering financial information or committing to monthly plans.
Qtum AI Router: A Unified Inference Layer
Beta Launching will be the Qtum AI Router to provide a unified API for routing requests across multiple AI models. Similar in concept to OpenRouter, the service will support:
- AI model routing
- Multi‑model inference
- Distributed GPU compute
- Low‑latency request handling
- AI orchestration and workflow integration
- Agent‑compatible infrastructure
The Router is designed to support developers building AI agents, automation tools, and multi‑model applications. ClawBot users will find this simple to work with.
A Blockchain With Long‑Term Reliability
Qtum’s blockchain has operated since 2017 with no downtime, offering a stability profile uncommon in the industry. The network combines:
-
- Bitcoin‑based UTXO security
- EVM‑compatible smart contracts
- Proof‑of‑Stake consensus
- Enterprise‑grade reliability
- Consistent uptime across seven years of operation
- 50 Core updates over 8 years
This reliability is central to Qtum’s positioning as an AI compute network. AI services require predictable, uninterrupted operation — a requirement Qtum’s blockchain has demonstrated over years of production use.
A Unified Ecosystem: Blockchain + AI + Compute
The Qtum ecosystem now spans:
- Qtum blockchain — a long‑running, stable, Bitcoin‑based smart contract platform
- Qtum.ai — AI video generation for creators and businesses
- Qtum AI Router — unified inference routing for multi‑model AI
- Qtum Ally — a desktop AI agent integrating multiple LLMs
- GPU infrastructure — powering inference and generation workloads
This positions Qtum as a hybrid blockchain and AI infrastructure network, supporting decentralized compute, creator tools, and useful Web3 applications.
