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 "xqsa[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.

Map positions are dummy data. 296 placeholder nodes across 35 locations, in 30 clusters at this zoom. The live chain status above and the measured figures below are real. Positions fill in for real once operators publish a host, which none do yet.

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.
