FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Quantropy, verifiable quantum entropy, and integration.
What is Quantropy?
Quantropy is the systematic injection of non-deterministic entropy into blockchain. It is a protocol and DePIN that supplies verifiable, real-time quantum randomness—harvested from physical subatomic particle collapse—instead of software-generated pseudo-randomness. Entropy is anchored on Solana and delivered via a low-latency API backed by a multi-vendor quantum processor fleet. See Introduction and What Is Quantum Entropy.
Why use quantum entropy instead of pseudo-randomness?
Pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are deterministic: given the seed, the sequence is reproducible. For high-stakes use cases (lotteries, key generation, anti-front-running, AI agent security), that predictability is a weakness. Quantum entropy is non-deterministic and verifiable: each output is tied to a real quantum measurement and a Quantum Job ID on Solana, so you get both unpredictability and auditability. See Quantum Provenance and The Integrity Stack.
How do I get started?
Get an API key (via Integrate Now or your dashboard), then call the entropy endpoint with your key. You receive entropy bytes plus a Quantum Job ID and Solana transaction reference. Full steps: Quick Start. For request/response details: API Reference and SDK Libraries.
How can I verify that entropy is real?
Every response includes a Quantum Job ID and a Solana transaction ID. Use the Quantum Explorer to look up the Job ID or tx and confirm the job is on-chain. That gives you public, auditable proof that the entropy came from the Quantropy pipeline.
What is $QPY and how is it used?
$QPY is Quantropy’s native token—the “fuel of reality.” You spend $QPY to consume verifiable quantum entropy via the API. Spent $QPY is permanently burned, creating deflationary pressure and tying token circulation to real network usage. See QPY Overview and Spend and Burn.
