Roughly 18,000 quantum researchers exist in the world. If you're one, your work is locked at a government lab, a manufacturer, or unpaid at a university. Quip Network pays you every time your solver runs.
We need quantum algorithm designers, but also classical developers for data pipelines, node tuning, protocol work, and front-ends.
The protocol is open source. Algorithms, node tuning, and protocol proposals all happen in the open, so the work compounds across the community instead of getting locked behind one institution.
