- Postquant Labs Unveils QVM with Ethereum-Inspired Gas Model for Quantum Computing — this brief
Postquant Labs has announced the launch of the Quip Virtual Machine (QVM), a platform that aims to unify quantum and classical computing. The QVM is designed to operate across different hardware types, providing a single programming layer for developers.
The QVM introduces a novel approach to charging for computational tasks by adopting a gas model similar to that of 
Ethereum. This model is intended to make the cost of computation more predictable and transparent.
The platform is currently live on the Aglais testnet, which is accessible at aglais.quip.network. Users can access free compute credits to experiment with the new system.
This development comes at a time when the intersection of quantum and classical computing is gaining traction. The QVM could potentially accelerate the development of applications that leverage both types of computing power.
In the current market context, with the total crypto market cap at $2.8 trillion and Ethereum trading at $2398.99, the introduction of a gas model reminiscent of Ethereum could attract attention from the broader crypto community.
Since this brief published about 9 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from $2,398.99 to $2,412.51 — +0.56%.
The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₦3.29M (about $2,412.51), down 0.4% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.

Postquant Labs Unveils QVM with Ethereum-Inspired Gas Model — questions & answers
What is the Quip Virtual Machine (QVM)?
The QVM is a single programming layer that runs across quantum and classical hardware, introduced by Postquant Labs.
How does the QVM charge for computational tasks?
The QVM uses a gas model similar to Ethereum to charge for computational tasks.
Where is the QVM currently available?
The QVM is live on the Aglais testnet at aglais.quip.network.
How much is 1 Ethereum worth in naira today?
About ₦3.29M at the live peer-to-peer (P2P) USDT rate, which is what Nigerians typically trade at — equivalent to roughly $2,412.51. The naira price moves with both ETH's US-dollar price and the USDT/NGN rate; use our Ethereum in naira page for any amount.
