Aug 18, 2025 | Qual Network Developer Q&A – Quai Qi Controller Update | Quai Network X-Space AMA
In this episode of the Quai Network Developer Q&A, Matt sits down with core engineers Jonathan and Dr. K to discuss massive upcoming protocol changes. Discover the newly launched "QAI" Discord Bot capable of querying on-chain RPC data, and dive deep into the upcoming hard fork aimed at dampening the Qi/Quai controller. The team also breaks down the massive arbitrage opportunities currently available between the protocol and secondary markets like QuaiSwap, upcoming EVM opcode changes, and a sneak peek into the future implementation of 3-second block times for global interchange compatibility.
