► ABOUT QUBETICS

Qubetics is a Layer-1, EVM-compatible aggregated blockchain that unifies Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos and other major networks into a single, abstracted user experience. Mainnet v2.0.0 went live on February 6, 2026, and the long-anticipated BTC Chain Abstraction Protocol is now rolling out from beta to mainnet — alongside a fully on-chain Decentralized VPN (dVPN).

The thesis is simple: most BTC capital sits idle because moving it into DeFi requires too many hops (custody → wrap → bridge → swap). Qubetics' Chain Abstraction Protocol collapses that into a single signed intent, handled in the background by a solver network secured by 2PC + MPC threshold cryptography. No centralized custodian. No wrapped-token honeypot. No bridge risk in the traditional sense.


► WHY QUBETICS

• One Wallet, Every Chain — Universal identity across BTC, ETH, SOL, Cosmos, and EVM L2s. Stop juggling 6 wallets and 4 seed phrases.
• Native BTC into DeFi — Move Bitcoin into yield, swaps, and dApps in a two-step UX. No WBTC custodian. No wrapped-token risk surface.
• EVM-Compatible L1 — Solidity contracts deploy as-is. Existing Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, MetaMask) works out of the box.
• Threshold-Signed Solver Network — 2PC + MPC means user + validator nodes co-sign. No single party can unilaterally move funds.
• On-Chain dVPN — Bandwidth providers register, get rated for uptime, and earn TICS for routing encrypted traffic — the privacy layer for Web3 communication.
• Deflationary Fee Model — 80% of on-chain fees → community pool for grants & ecosystem. 20% → permanently burned.
• CertiK Audited (Skynet Score 84.53 / "A") — 5 audits across blockchain core, vesting, wallet, and auxiliary modules. Latest report: April 10, 2026.

► TRANSPARENCY: WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY 2025

We don't gloss over this — and neither should anyone considering TICS.

In late June / July 2025, an error in the vesting smart contract (built by an outsourced contractor, Antier) caused the first token unlock to distribute roughly 1% of expected allocations instead of 10%. Compounding that, ~60% of the airdrop was claimed by sybil/bot wallets. The combined effect crashed TICS roughly 97–99% within 48 hours of listing.

What was done in response:

• $2,000,000 recovery fund established to make eligible wallets whole
• Stricter anti-sybil controls applied to all subsequent distributions
• Vesting and distribution code brought in-house and re-audited
• Mainnet v2.0.0 upgrade shipped on schedule (Feb 6, 2026) — proof of execution under pressure
• Latest CertiK audit cycle (Apr 10, 2026) covers the new vesting & wallet logic

If you're new to the project, take this seriously, do your own due diligence, and treat any position as venture-style risk capital.

► FAQ — QUICK ANSWERS

Q: Is this just another wrapped-BTC bridge?
A: No. The Chain Abstraction Protocol uses 2PC + MPC threshold signing where the user and the validator/solver network jointly authorize transactions — no central custodian holds wrapped BTC.

Q: Is the chain actually live?
A: Yes. Mainnet v1.0.0 went live in Q3 2025, v2.0.0 in February 2026. Block explorer is TICSScan.

Q: Where is the source code?
A: github.com/Qubetics — node scripts, upgrade modules, chain-abstraction binary, solver-network binary, dVPN node software, and developer docs.

Q: How is TICS used?
A: Gas for transactions, staking by validators, bonding capital for solvers in the Chain Abstraction network, governance, and dVPN node payments.

Q: Tier-1 exchange listings?
A: Currently MEXC, LBank, Coinstore. Tier-1 listings are a roadmap target, not a guarantee.

Q: Is the team doxxed?
A: CertiK's team verification process has been completed (KYC of insiders). Public-facing leadership is listed on the website and LinkedIn.

► QUBETICS dVPN — TURN YOUR BANDWIDTH INTO TICS

Most of you already know the regular VPN model: one company runs the servers, sees all your traffic, keeps "no logs" (until they do), and pockets your monthly fee. Qubetics dVPN flips that entirely — and it pays you to participate.


💰 THE EARN OPPORTUNITY (Why this thread exists)

If you've got an always-on machine and unused upstream bandwidth, you can register a dVPN node on Qubetics and earn $TICS for every bit of encrypted traffic you route. No KYC to run a node, no middleman taking 70% — payments settle on-chain directly to your wallet.

• Run a node → earn TICS for routing encrypted user traffic
• Set your own pricing → on-chain, transparent, market-driven
• Uptime + region + performance are publicly verifiable on-chain — better service = better earnings
• Stack it with validator staking or solver-network bonding for multi-stream TICS yield

Effectively: your spare internet becomes income, and you contribute to a privacy network at the same time.


🧠 HOW IT WORKS (Plain English)

• Your traffic is encrypted with WireGuard (modern, audited, fast)
• It hops through multiple independent nodes (multi-hop routing)
• Each node only sees a small piece of the route — never the whole picture
• No single node knows who you are AND where you're going
• Result: traffic correlation attacks become exponentially harder than on a centralized VPN

There's no central company holding the keys, no single jurisdiction to subpoena, no master log file to leak.


🔐 KEY FEATURES

1. Privacy-first architecture

• No central server
• No single point of logging
• Hard to track or de-anonymize users
• Built for Web3 wallets and regular browsing

2. Multi-hop routing by default

• Traffic passes through several nodes before exit
• Defeats traffic-correlation surveillance
• Each hop is a node operator earning TICS

3. Earn-and-use economy

• Users pay in TICS for bandwidth
• Node operators earn TICS for providing it
• Two-sided market with no platform fee tax

4. Native to the Qubetics wallet

• Built directly into the app — not a separate download
• One-click toggle for users
• Designed for crypto-native + everyday browsing use cases

🔥 WHY IT MATTERS FOR $TICS

dVPN is one of the few features that gives a Layer-1 token non-speculative demand — actual people paying actual TICS for actual bandwidth, every single day. Every paid session creates buy-pressure on TICS and rewards node operators, which means running a node is effectively a long position on network usage.

If you already believe in the BTC chain abstraction thesis, the dVPN side gives you a parallel earn stream while the chain matures.


Get started: dVPN node setup scripts are in the Qubetics GitHub (look for dvpn-node-script and testnet-dvpn-node-script). Full mainnet activation followed the on-chain governance vote in Feb 2026.

Not financial advice. Running a node has hardware, bandwidth, and uptime costs — model your numbers before committing.

🛡 TWO CERTIK AUDITS LANDED — INCREDIBLY BULLISH

BTC Chain Abstraction smart contracts + Chain Abstraction & dVPN pentest. One of the cleanest security postures I've seen on a Layer-1 at this market cap.

Two independent CertiK reports dropped on Qubetics covering the exact two products: the Bitcoin Chain Abstraction Audit (QCA) on the smart contracts, and a separate Application Pentest (QPF) against Chain Abstraction + dVPN end-to-end.

📋 Verify everything yourself → skynet.certik.com/projects/qubetics


► THE NUMBERS (verified, not paraphrased)

🔐 Bitcoin Chain Abstraction Audit (QCA)
Audited contracts: intent_manager.sol, solver_manager.sol, + 5 more
Methods: Static Analysis + Manual Review + Formal Verification

• 34 findings total
• 0 Critical
• 6 Major (DoS) — all Resolved ✅
• 4 Medium → 3 Resolved, 1 Acknowledged
• 20 Minor (Volatile Code) → 12 Resolved, 8 Acknowledged
• 2 Informational → 1 Resolved, 1 Acknowledged
• 2 Centralization items → both Acknowledged (Upgrade + Privilege controls)
• 7 of 9 formal-verification properties mathematically verified on solver_manager.sol

🛡 Chain Abstraction + dVPN Pentest (QPF)
Methods: Dynamic Testing + Manual Review + Live Testnet Deployment
Timeline: Requested Jan 9 → Revised Apr 10, 2026 (3 full months of red-teaming)

• 47 findings total
• 0 Critical
• 6 Major (Logic Flaws) — all Resolved ✅
• 15 Medium → 14 Resolved, 1 Acknowledged design constraint
• 21 Minor → all Resolved ✅
• 5 Informational → all Resolved ✅
• Centralization findings: ZERO — Distribution, Upgrade, Privilege all clean

► THE HEADLINES

• 81 combined findings across both reports. Zero Critical. All 12 Major — Resolved.
• 84% Resolved / 16% Acknowledged overall. No "Partially Resolved" anywhere — every finding is either fixed or formally addressed.
• The pentest is near-spotless: 46/47 Resolved, zero centralization issues. That's the audit covering the actual user-facing app.
• Formal Verification was used on the smart contracts. Most L1s never pay for this — it requires writing mathematical specifications of correct behaviour and proving the code matches. 7 of 9 properties verified on the solver.
• Three months of pentesting on a live testnet deployment. Not a code skim — actual red-team attempts to break the running system.

► THE SPEND

Nine separate CertiK engagements completed across the project's lifecycle.

Industry pricing for that volume puts the cost at roughly $350K–$400K — approximately 2% of the $18.4M total raised, deployed entirely on independent third-party security validation.

For context: most projects at this market cap commission one audit (often the cheapest tier) and call it done. Qubetics has done nine, including a Formal Verification engagement that almost no early-stage L1 ever pays for. That's a budget line that disappears straight into a third-party's pocket — you either care about security or you don't, and this is what caring looks like on a balance sheet.


► WHAT TO ACTUALLY READ

For anyone doing real DD before sizing a position, two specific things in the reports are worth time:

• The 2 Centralization items in the smart contract audit (Upgrade + Privilege). Both Acknowledged, both standard for early-stage L1s with multi-sig governance — but you should read them and decide if you're comfortable with the trust model.
• The 1 Acknowledged Medium in the pentest — flagged as a design constraint, not an open vulnerability. CertiK's note explains why it isn't being changed.

These exist. They're disclosed. That's how serious projects ship — with documented trade-offs rather than fake "100% clean" marketing.


Read the reports yourself — don't take my word for it:

🔗 UPDATE: CHAIN ABSTRACTION LAUNCH + COSMOS SDK CHAIN UPGRADE

Qubetics just dropped a major technical announcement on X. Translating it for the forum.

🔗 Source: @qubetics on X — full article

Two coordinated shipments: the Chain Abstraction Protocol (CAP) mainnet launch and a phased Cosmos SDK upgrade (v0.47 → v0.50 → v0.53). They are explicitly designed to land together — the SDK upgrade is the infrastructure CAP needs to run at scale.


⚡ PART 1 — CHAIN ABSTRACTION PROTOCOL (CAP) LAUNCH

Current state of crypto: moving BTC across chains means bridges, multiple wallets, different gas tokens, fragmented liquidity, and execution headaches. CAP collapses all of that into a single signed user intent.

Architecture (from the announcement):

• Multi-Party Computation (MPC) — cryptographic signing distributed across multiple parties; no centralised key custody
• Decentralised relayers — off-chain coordination of cross-chain execution
• Secure cross-chain coordination — asset verification, transaction routing, signing, settlement validation all handled in the background

Core mainnet capabilities going live:
[list=1]

• Unified In-Wallet Cross-Chain Transfers — BTC and supported assets move directly from inside the Qubetics Wallet
• MPC-Powered Secure Execution — no centralised key management
• Intelligent Transaction Routing — automatic routing, sequencing, settlement coordination
• On-Chain Transaction Verification — every cross-chain tx is verifiable on-chain
• Real-Time Explorer Tracking — Qubetics Explorer shows execution status, routing, and settlement live
• Reduced Cross-Chain Friction — fewer steps, fewer error vectors, fewer custodial dependencies

The user just transacts. All the complexity disappears under the hood.


🔧 PART 2 — COSMOS SDK CHAIN UPGRADE (v0.47 → v0.50 → v0.53)

This is infrastructure modernisation. The current chain runs on Cosmos SDK v0.47. The upgrade brings Qubetics to v0.53 in two phases, with full validator testing between stages.

Concrete improvements in the upgrade:

• ABCI++ integration — modern application-blockchain interface, big throughput + consensus improvements
• CometBFT security integration — the consensus engine itself gets a security upgrade
• Improved mempool + transaction processing
• Out-of-order (unordered) transaction support — meaningfully better UX for high-throughput dApps
• Epoch-based automated operations — the heartbeat CAP runs on, baked natively into the chain
• Larger treasury management modules — better community-pool and grant management
• Stronger validator security + coordination
• Better governance architecture — DAO foundation properly laid in
• Stronger transaction validation systems

Why phased: testing validator sync, governance flow, staking, and consensus integrity after each step instead of stacking two SDK migrations on top of each other and hoping. Standard practice for chains that take uptime seriously.


📅 SCHEDULE

• Governance vote on upgrade proposal — ~2 days once submitted
• Mainnet migration begins — mid-May
• Full upgrade execution — mid-June
• CAP mainnet launch — follows CertiK final sign-off (3rd audit reportedly at ~99%)

🎯 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR $TICS

• TICS utility goes live in production — gas, solver bonds, governance, fee routing, dVPN payments — all activated as CAP comes online
• The thesis becomes measurable. Once CAP is on mainnet, the question stops being "will it ship?" and becomes "is BTC actually flowing through it?" That's a falsifiable, on-chain metric — no more roadmap caveats
• Watch CAP transaction volume when it starts posting. Volume → fees → burn (20%) + community pool (80%). Everything else is noise. The chain becomes either organically used or it doesn't, and the data will be public on TICSScan
• Infrastructure that's two SDK versions ahead is also a real selling point for institutional integrators. Modern Cosmos stack = easier audits, easier integrations, easier validator onboarding

Verify the source directly:

Not financial advice. Roadmap dates can slip — verify current status against the official channels before acting. Mainnet upgrades carry validator execution risk; if you're operating a node, follow the upgrade-script docs in the GitHub repo to the letter.
