Quip Network Developers

Build on the worldwide quantum computer

Post-quantum protection for assets on chains you already use, and optimization jobs that run on real quantum hardware. Pick a path below for the install command and the page that continues it.

Quickstart

Pick the path that matches what you need Quip for
TypeScript

Put a post-quantum lock on assets you already hold

A Quip Account is a contract-based lockbox on a chain you already use, secured by hash-based signatures rather than elliptic curves.

npm install @quip.network/ethereum-sdk@beta
Note

Install the @beta tag. The default latest tag still resolves to 0.1.7, published in 2025, and predates the current signer.

Python

Send an optimization problem to real quantum hardware

XQuad expresses a problem once as an Ising model. XQSA points it at a solver: your own CPU while you iterate, then the network's miners without rewriting the model.

pip install "xquad[quip]"
Note

Requires Python 3.13 or newer. Solve locally with SolverDWaveCPU before reaching for the network backend.

Desktop or server

Join the testnet and earn from useful work

Quip pays for solved optimization problems rather than discarded hashes. Run the desktop node manager on one machine, or deploy the compose stack for an always-on node.

git clone https://gitlab.com/quip.network/nodes.quip.network
Note

Prefer the desktop app for a first run: it ships a GUI and a TUI for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Operators

Earn from hardware you already run, classical or quantum.

Requirements
  • Docker Compose v2
  • An always-on machine
  • CPU, GPU, or QPU
Evaluators

Check what the network does before committing to it.

Build with AI

Agents read these docs more than people do
Bootstrap prompt

Docs index, testnet endpoint, and the right package names.

You are helping me build on Quip Network. Docs index: https://developers.quip.network/docs/llms.txt. Any docs page returns markdown if you append .md to its URL. Testnet EVM JSON-RPC: https://evm-rpc.aglais.quip.network (chain ID 20033). Verify on-chain results against https://explorer.aglais.quip.network. Confirm you are on the right chain by genesis hash 0x542a9915acf840b8940d35ca6de242f669a0c6e3b40f9a8d8c14b9bf7b8ebecb, not by chain ID. TypeScript SDK: @quip.network/ethereum-sdk@beta. Python compute toolchain: xquad[quip], which installs the xqsa solvers and the Quip Network backend.

Dispenses 10 AGLS, rate-limited per destination. Accepts an SS58 address, a 0x-prefixed AccountId, or an EVM address. The API sends no CORS preflight, so call it from a terminal or a server, not from a browser.

Help and feedback

Gaps in these docs are worth reporting
Report a problem

Something here sent you somewhere unhelpful, or a command did not work? File it on the feedback board. It is read, and it is the input that decides what gets fixed next.

One board for every Quip product, not developer-only. Say which surface you were on so it routes correctly. A dedicated developer channel does not exist yet.
