These docs cover building on the Quip Network: submitting optimization jobs to a decentralized quantum and classical compute marketplace, and protecting assets on the chains you already use with quantum-resistant accounts and swaps. New to Quip? Start with the [Quickstart](/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md), or read [What is Quip Network?](/docs/getting-started/what-is-quip.md) for how the two layers relate. Integrating? Go to the [Quip SDK](/docs/getting-started/quip-sdk.md). For the whole system in one diagram, see [How Quip Network Fits Together](/docs/quip-interlock-protocol/how-quip-fits-together.md). If you are reading alongside an AI assistant, these pages are also [available as markdown and over MCP](/docs/getting-started/use-with-ai.md).

The goal of the Quip Network is to make quantum compute usable without owning the hardware, for problems in finance, logistics, manufacturing, and AI.

If you can phrase your question as, "What's the best...?", "What's the fastest...?", or "What's the least costly...?" the odds are good that we can solve your problem faster with a quantum computer.

Because we run a quantum computing network, we also secure client digital assets against threats from the advent of quantum computers. Users of the Quip Network (wallets, protocols, retail, and institutions) will be able to easily integrate the Quip Protocol into their existing chains and wallets to achieve post-quantum security as an extra layer of defense for their digital assets.

The long-term mission is a worldwide quantum computer: a network that can solve problems no single platform can. These docs cover how to use that network today, and how to keep your assets secure from anyone who might misuse it.
