Quantum Provenance

Every entropy request in Quantropy is tied to an immutable on-chain record. That link is the Quantum Job ID.

What is the Quantum Job ID?

The Quantum Job ID is a unique identifier for a single entropy job. It is issued when your request is accepted and is permanently associated with:

  • The entropy bytes returned to you

  • The Solana transaction that anchors the job

  • Timestamp and metadata used for auditing

You receive the Quantum Job ID in the API response (e.g. job_id). With it, you can prove that a given entropy output came from Quantropy and was settled on Solana—no forgery, no replay.

How every request is anchored

  1. Request — You call the entropy API (with auth and parameters).

  2. Job creation — The system creates a job, assigns a Quantum Job ID, and schedules it on the Integrity Stack.

  3. QPU + settlement — The job is executed on real hardware; the result and metadata are committed to Solana.

  4. Response — You receive the entropy, the Quantum Job ID, and the Solana transaction ID (or signature).

From that point on, the link request → Job ID → Solana tx is immutable. Anyone can verify that this specific entropy output was produced by the network and recorded on-chain.

Complete auditability

  • You — You can store the Job ID and Solana tx with your use of the entropy (e.g. in a game round, a lottery, or an AI agent run) and prove later that the randomness was legitimate.

  • Auditors — Third parties can use the Quantum Explorerarrow-up-right or Solana explorers to verify the transaction and its metadata.

  • Compliance — For regulated or high-assurance use cases, the chain provides an audit trail from API call to settlement.

Quantum provenance is the basis for verifiable randomness: not just “we used a good RNG,” but “this exact output is anchored on-chain and can be checked by anyone.”
