Solana Settlement
Solana is Quantropy’s on-chain root of trust. Every entropy job is anchored in a Solana transaction, so the chain is the single source of truth for what was delivered and when.
Why Solana?
Throughput and latency — High TPS and low confirmation times support the <400ms request-to-chain finality target.
Settlement finality — Once a transaction is finalized, the link between a Quantum Job ID and the entropy (or its commitment) is immutable.
Public auditability — Anyone can verify jobs via Solana explorers or the Quantum Explorer.
How Solana is used
Job commitment — When an entropy job is completed, the result (or a commitment) and metadata are written to Solana.
Quantum Job ID — The Job ID you receive in the API response is tied to this transaction. You can look up the tx to verify the job.
Settlement — $QPY spend-and-burn and other economic logic can be settled on the same chain; see Tokenomics.
So Solana serves both as the audit log for entropy (provenance) and as the settlement layer for the protocol’s economy.
On-chain root of trust
The “root of trust” means: if it is on Solana and finalized, it is the canonical record. No one can alter past jobs or forge new ones without going through the protocol and the chain. That is the basis for Quantum Provenance—every request is anchored to an immutable Solana transaction for complete auditability.
When you receive a response with a Quantum Job ID and Solana transaction ID, you (or any third party) can verify that this entropy was produced by Quantropy and recorded on-chain. No off-chain promise is needed.
For economic settlement: Spend and Burn. For verification UX: Quantum Explorer.
