Introduction to QuantumStack
QuantumStack is a sovereign blockchain ecosystem that combines constitutional NFTs, governed smart wallets, and autonomous AI agents to create a decentralized, verifiable automation system.
What Is QuantumStack
QuantumStack addresses the fundamental problem of digital sovereignty in automated systems.
Traditionally, automated systems rely on centralized backends that can be compromised, modified, or shut down. QuantumStack flips this model by using NFTs as on-chain constitutions that govern the behavior of AI agents and smart wallets.
Main Components
1. NFT as Sovereign Constitution
Each NFT in QuantumStack acts as a digital constitution that defines:
- Behavior rules: What the agent can and cannot do
- Authorization limits: Maximum values for transactions, allowed destinations
- Personality and preferences: How the agent communicates and interacts
- Active modules: Which functionalities are enabled
Practical example: An NFT can define that the agent may only execute transactions within specific limits, only to pre-approved addresses, and must always confirm operations above a certain value with the owner. These rules are stored in decentralized storage and verified on-chain via hashes.
2. Governed Smart Wallets
Each NFT has a dedicated smart wallet created through the Factory pattern.
This wallet:
- Is exclusively linked to the NFT that governs it
- Validates all actions against the rules defined in the NFT
- Maintains an immutable history of all operations
- Can be publicly audited through the blockchain
Use case: A user creates an NFT to manage a trading wallet. The NFT defines that only pre-approved strategies may be executed, with daily loss limits. The smart wallet ensures these rules are always respected, even if the executor is compromised.
3. Autonomous AI Agent
The agent is an AI agent that:
- Reads and interprets the rules defined in the NFT
- Executes authorized actions according to the rules
- Learns from interactions and adjusts behavior (within NFT limits)
- Communicates with the user through a natural interface
Descriptive example: A user configures an agent to monitor cryptocurrency prices and execute trades when certain conditions are met. The agent reads the NFT rules, monitors the market, and when conditions are met, proposes the transaction. The smart wallet validates that the proposal complies with the NFT rules before executing.
How the System Works
Operation Flow
The system operates through a well-defined flow that ensures sovereignty and validation at each step:

Sovereignty Guarantees
The system guarantees sovereignty through multiple layers of protection:
On-Chain Verification
All critical rules are verified on-chain. Even if the backend is compromised, the smart wallet will not execute unauthorized actions.
IPFS as Source of Truth
Complete rules reside on IPFS and are publicly accessible. Any executor can read and interpret the rules correctly.
Full Decentralization
The system does not depend on a centralized executor. Any compatible executor can operate the agent according to the NFT rules.
Transparency
All actions are public and verifiable. The complete history is on the blockchain.
Main Use Cases
1. Trading Automation
Problem: Users want to automate trading but do not trust centralized bots that can be compromised or modified.
QuantumStack solution: Create an NFT that defines trading strategies, loss limits, and allowed destinations. The agent executes trades according to the rules, and the wallet validates each transaction. Even if the executor is compromised, on-chain rules ensure limits are not violated.
2. Automated Wallet Management
Problem: Users want to automate wallet management (staking, rebalancing) but need guarantees that rules will not be violated.
QuantumStack solution: The NFT defines management rules (e.g., "stake a percentage of funds, rebalance periodically"). The agent executes according to the rules; the wallet validates. The user retains control through the NFT rules, which can be updated when needed.
3. Virtual Assistant with Financial Control
Problem: Users want virtual assistants that can perform financial actions but need clear security guarantees and limits.
QuantumStack solution: The NFT defines the assistant's personality, spending limits, and allowed action types. The agent acts as an assistant, but all financial actions are validated by the wallet against the NFT rules.
4. Enterprise Automation with Governance
Problem: Companies need to automate financial operations with clear, auditable governance.
QuantumStack solution: A corporate NFT defines governance rules (e.g., "requires multiple signatures for transactions above a certain value"). The agent executes routine operations, but large operations require approval according to the NFT rules. Everything is auditable on-chain.
